Pranika Sinha

Managing Director, DEI & Organizational Development

I’ve been in my share of spaces where I didn’t feel like I belonged, so I make it a point to ensure others feel welcome, seen and heard. Building belonging comes with a pinch of courage and a dash of allyship but we all have the tools and because Greystone is truly a place where people matter, we can all feel empowered to do so.
