Parul Somani
Decision Strategist. Keynote Speaker. #1 Amazon Bestselling Author.
Parul Somani is a decision strategist, global keynote speaker, and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller The Path of Least Regret: Decide with Clarity. Move Forward with Confidence. Her work helps leaders and high achievers navigate uncertainty, change, and high-stakes decisions with greater clarity, resilience, and intention.
A graduate of MIT and Harvard Business School, Parul brings more than two decades of leadership, strategy, and advisory experience to her work with organizations and high achievers. She began her career at Bain & Company, where she rose to Senior Manager advising private equity firms and leadership teams, and later held leadership roles in Silicon Valley startups. Her signature Path of Least Regret® framework integrates business strategy, behavioral science, and lived experience to help people clarify what matters, evaluate tradeoffs, and move forward with confidence when there is no obvious “right” answer.
Parul’s perspective was shaped both by her professional work with leaders and organizations and by her personal experience navigating aggressive breast cancer at age thirty-one, shortly after the birth of her second child. Her public blog, “New Job. New Baby. New Cancer.,” reached readers in more than eighty-five countries and became the foundation for her broader work on resilience, intentional living, and values-aligned decision-making.
Her work has been featured by Forbes, NPR, Inc., Oprah Daily, Psychology Today, MIT Technology Review, Katie Couric Media, and leading podcasts. She has spoken for Fortune 100 companies and leading organizations, including Oracle, Bristol Myers Squibb, Neiman Marcus, Harvard Business School, Stanford Health Care, and the MIT Koch Institute.
Parul lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two daughters.
