Hello! My name is Nila Devanath.

As an executive coach, I specialize in helping C-suite leaders navigate the complexities of team dynamics, fostering a culture of transparency, inclusion, and long-term success. With over a decade of experience in leadership across healthcare, legal, and corporate sectors, I bring a unique approach that blends emotional intelligence with practical strategy.


If you’re facing challenges with interpersonal team dynamics—whether it’s misalignment, miscommunication, or persistent roadblocks—I work with you to create a system of collaboration that ensures lasting harmony and productivity.

Unlock Your Potential 

Success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about alignment. At ND Executive Coaching, we help high-achieving professionals break through the invisible barriers holding them back, both in their careers and personal lives. This program is designed for leaders who are ready to step into their full power, navigate challenges with confidence, and create a work-life balance that fuels long-term success.


Executive Coaching

With a background as both a Harvard-trained lawyer and a Yale-trained doctor, I’ve spent the last 15 years advising top professionals—including lawyers, doctors, government officials, and C-suite executives—on navigating complex interpersonal dynamics. True leadership isn’t just about strategy; it’s about self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to foster a culture of collaboration and trust.


This year, my focus is on a group that continues to face unique challenges in leadership: women. Despite their talent and dedication, many still encounter perception barriers, limited advancement opportunities, and the weight of burnout. My 12-month executive coaching program is designed to help high-achieving women realign their leadership, mindset, and well-being—transforming both their careers and personal lives.


Through intensive strategy sessions and ongoing coaching, we’ll identify and remove the internal and external obstacles standing in your way. If you're ready to step into the leader you’re meant to be, let’s make it happen together.
