Background

About Prat Panda

I am passionate about helping solve the world’s most pressing challenges in creative and sustainable ways, bringing together unlikely partners to make it all happen. To do this, I have dedicated my career to working with NGOs, companies, foundations, and other global development actors to design and scale innovations to drive sustainable social impact through cross sector partnership. I have worked across the world to support innovations in under-served and refugee communities. My work spans across public health, education, livelihoods, financial inclusion, agriculture, energy access, and digital inclusion. I am currently the Inclusive Business Lead for Accenture, working to bring the social impact capabilities of Accenture Development Partnerships to support Accenture's commercial clients in advancing their efforts to help achieve the SDGs. In addition, I lead our Global Education portfolio and remain heavily involved in the Digital Inclusion space. In prior roles, I oversaw Accenture Development Partnerships’ efforts in the US Northeast; led our Strategy & Partnerships work globally; managed our portfolio in East Africa; and delivered growth strategy projects with Nonprofits in the US. I am also an Adjunct Professor at New York University's Center for Global Affairs, teaching courses on the Integration of Profit and Purpose. I am based in New York and travel globally. I have an MBA from NYU's Stern School of Business and a dual degree in Business-Economics and Psychology from UCLA.
