The Restive Perspective: Rashmi Melgiri

All Blog Posts

Meet Rashmi Melgiri. After a successful run as the No. 2 at Coverwallet, Rashmi saw a problem she was uniquely fit to solve–and she was driven to do it from the CEO seat herself. In this episode we cover:

- Her company Functional Finance
- Her leadership journey and what it took to establish her own, authentic voice
- How she stepped off the consultant trajectory and became a founder
- How she was uniquely positioned to identify and act on a problem she saw in the market

And much more!
- Lessons from running a company for a second time around
- A surprise puppet
- And much more!
