About the Host
Parul Saini is a human centered leader with more than twenty years of experience in technology and digital transformation. She has led global IT organizations, guided large scale change, and partnered with executives to shape strategy and build systems that keep companies moving forward. Her work spans engineering, consulting, product development, and executive leadership at companies like Zuora, Splunk, and Uber.
Her career began far from the C-suite. Parul started at a call center helping customers fix their computers. That experience grounded her belief that empathy is the foundation of every great system and every great team, and it shaped the way she approaches leadership and complexity.
Parul has reinvented herself many times across continents, roles, and seasons of life. Each transition was quiet at first. A small truth. A sense of misalignment. A decision to move before she had all the answers. Those turning points became the inspiration for The Courage Curve, a podcast for women who feel they are standing close to a breakthrough and want to understand the deeper work happening within them.
