This episode of Behind Every Dream features Suchita Guntakatta, deputy director for the Global Development Polio team at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a title in itself that’s the dream! 

Suchita started at the foundation in April 2009 and brings over 15 years of corporate and management consulting experience to the table. From thinking she wanted to study art in college to working as a management consultant about to make partner to taking a gap year 15 years into her career to figure out what her passion truly was to now managing approximately 400-500 million dollars annually for the foundation, Suchita’s story is proof that you don’t have to have it all figured out by 25. 

Especially for our listeners who are in the corporate field and often doubt whether they are making an impact, or if it’s realistically possible to find fulfillment in your career, we hope this episode proves that there is power in pivoting, listening to your gut and paving your own path.
