Catalyst is delighted to invite you to our Spring Soirée with Devi Vallabhaneni for an intimate evening of art, conversation, and connection.
Devi Vallabhaneni leads a rare double life: a Harvard Business School alumna, former HBS Admissions Board member, prominent MBA consultant, and a LA-based visual artist whose work explores ambition, identity, and creative expression. Devi doesn't just straddle worlds—she has built a life that refuses to choose between them.
The evening will open with a private gallery viewing of Devi's exhibition, The Inheritance: From Ancient India to Minimalism, followed by a 30-minute intimate panel exploring her unconventional career path. We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful evening as we discuss an important topic: what it means for women to hold multiple identities at once? Ambitious and executive. Creative and methodical. Conformity while pursuing one's dreams. There is no clean answer, but there is something powerful about a candid conversation in a room of future female leaders.
