Rupal Bhandari — CEO

I am a thought leadership specialist with almost a decade of international research experience in technology, project management, and transformation. As a key member of PMI's thought leadership team, I have co-authored influential reports on organizational agility, PMO success, and ways of working, including the flagship Pulse of the Profession and PMI's Generative AI research. My GenAI expertise allows me to address critical questions for project professionals, including: What separates those who plateau after early wins from those who transform their workflows; how learning habits, curiosity, and domain expertise shape success; real-world use cases—from risk management to cost analysis—that are changing the game; and why Trailblazers are redefining the role of project professionals in the age of AI. I specialize in examining the skills dimension of modern project work, identifying what it takes to be not just functional but truly impactful in today's global and dynamic workplace. This focus has been central to my webinars and knowledge-sharing with project professionals worldwide. I bring a proven track record of managing and delivering thought leadership projects with large, global organizations. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated the ability to navigate complex, cross-functional environments while fostering strong stakeholder relationships. I excel in project management, from maintaining timelines and managing multiple priorities to providing stakeholders with essential insights and updates. Prior to joining PMI, I was at Gartner, where I authored more than 50 research-intensive articles on technology topics, including project management software solutions. With my extensive experience and deep understanding of the intersection between technology and project management, I empower project professionals to embrace change and lead their organizations to success. When it comes to the direction of my research, I am driven by a profound desire to create a balanced work-life paradigm for professionals globally—helping organizations understand that how employees feel about work directly impacts the bottom line. Through my work on power skills and "ways of working," I help foster a deeper understanding of these connections, enabling businesses to optimize processes, enhance employee well-being, and thrive in an evolving landscape.

Wherever I reflect the views of PMI, I will share a written source to accompany it.
