Vandana Ramachandran, PhD's Linkedin Analytics

From pioneering research at world-class institutions to building communities that transform careers, I've spent my journey creating pathways for women in STEM to thrive. My scientific background spans Curtin University, NUS, INSERM, and Scripps Research, but what drives me most is the leadership work that followed—founding movements, building networks, and now coaching ambitious women to lead authentic, fulfilling careers. Today, I coach women in STEM and leadership using a holistic approach that heals the whole person, not just the career. I combine proven frameworks with deep empathy because I understand the unique pressures we face—the imposter syndrome, the work-life integration challenges, the navigation of male-dominated spaces. My mission is simple: help brilliant women find their voices, lead with confidence, and build careers that align with who they truly are. Another passion is to help postdocs and STEM professionals navigate their careers within and beyond academia. Having been on both sides, I do understand the journey where we all question: 'What's next?' Our PhD training provides a wealth of opportunities for us to embark on a multitude of careers beyond academia.
