Aditi Patil was on her fourth relocation for her spouse's career when she decided there should really be a community to support people in her position. There wasn't an existing group so she took it upon herself to create one, We are Pistachio. The name represents the way she describes relocating spouses: tough, open, happy, global - and just a little bit nutty!
Aditi had a solid career with Citibank, a love for leadership and development, and a recent coaching certification when she first relocated with her husband and two young children. Along the way, she'd face challenges and find opportunities, including an opportunity to volunteer with refugee women as a Leadership & Development coach for the United Nations.
Today, she lives in Seattle where she has returned to her own career, founded her new community, and teaches for the University of Washington Women in Entrepreneurial Leadership program.
