Nina Godiwalla at the 2011 Texas Book Festival.

Nina Godiwalla is a bestselling author who has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Houston Chronicle.^[1]

She writes about business issues for Wharton Magazine. Before founding MindWorks, which provides stress management and meditation training to corporations and other professional organizations, she spent almost a decade working for Fortune 500 corporations including Morgan Stanley and Johnson & Johnson. She used her experience as the basis of her book, Suits: A Woman on Wall Street. In an interview with Bloomberg, she said that Liar's Poker did not adequately describe her experience as a woman and a minority.^[2]

One example of the stories that she recounts in an article for the Wall Street Journal:

Once, when we learned from a newspaper article that our colleague was mysteriously found dead in her apartment, several senior managers crowded in a conference room with fiery faces. It wasn’t the death that had upset them. It turns out the same newspaper article revealed another co-worker’s salary. They were furious about finding out they were getting paid less.^[3]

She speaks nationally on diversity and stress management in the workplace and has been featured in several major publications including USA Today, The New York Times, ABC News, and Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Godiwalla has a Master of Business Administration from Wharton School of Business, a Master of Arts focused in creative writing from Dartmouth College, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from University of Texas. She currently lives in Austin, Texas.^[4]
