Nisha is one of the best colleagues I've worked with in my career. She brings a global view grounded with local knowledge to address major economic and social challenges and opportunities. Her legal and policy backgrounds combine to generate deep subject matter expertise, which she has used to advise top international think tanks, national consultancies, and major government agencies and universities, as well as a number of innovative and growing small businesses. Nisha is a clear communicator on complex matters. She issues recommendations that reflect her incredible analytical and managerial talents. I strongly recommend Nisha and would be happy to share more upon request.

Nisha's professionalism and commitment to advancing economic inclusion and M/WBEs are inspirational. An experienced strategist, she laid the groundwork for achieving unprecedented growth in the City of New York's M/WBE Program — ensuring a more diverse procurement marketplace. As her colleague, I witnessed her ability to persevere and advance her work priorities which were always aligned with our mission of creating a more equitable New York. She is a team player and respected professional. Nisha will always have my highest of recommendations.

I have known Nisha for over a decade and seen first-hand the diligence and methodical approach she brings to every project she touches. That was why I knew I could trust her to assist with the wind-down of my civil rights law firm, which required careful disengagement from both closed and ongoing matters. Nisha is a pleasure to work with. She is whip-smart and understands how institutions work (or fall short) in meeting their mandates — whether in the public or private sectors, businesses large and small (like mine), or academia. If you need someone capable of doing high-level thinking, and who can still plow through the weeds, Nisha is your candidate.
