My work

 At the heart of my work lies a singular mission: building resilient, emotionally intelligent organizations that create meaningful change. Through Fringe Impact, I develop transformative solutions that break down barriers and elevate underrepresented voices across sectors—from workforce development to health equity and education.


My approach is shaped by my journey as an immigrant, woman of color, and mother seeking work-life harmony. These experiences fuel my deep commitment to equity and human-centered innovation. I specialize in creating spaces where diverse perspectives thrive and organizations can authentically engage with their stakeholders.


By combining empathy with strategic insight, I help organizations move beyond surface-level inclusion to build lasting, equitable systems that work for everyone. 


Key organizational experiences: FSG, Archipel & Co., UVM Office of Innovations, Griffith Foods 

Clients: Fortune 500 Companies, Corporate and Family Foundations and Large Nonprofits.

Experience: Over 15 years in the social impact sector


With Love, Ruchi Nadkarni
