With Preeti Inchody

Preeti Inchody is Senior Managing Director of deals & advisory at Ankura, a global consulting firm with over 35 offices across the world.   Preeti’s path to Partnership is one of resilience, persistence hard work, humility, and patience. Born and raised in Mumbi India, Preeti talks fondly about her childhood and the intensity of Mumbai when she started her career in accounting and finance. Preeti and her Husband then take the bold step and move to Australia in 2011 a country they had never even visited where Preeti talks about the initial challenges of securing a job and the approach she took to overcome those challenges. In 2015 Preeti joined global advisory firm FTI Consulting as the first “deals” person in a team of Insolvency and Restructuring professionals, Preeti talks about how she made her business a success as well as the importance of having mentors who supported her during that time. In February 2020 Preeti joined Ankura, 2 months before the world changed. Preeti talks about the challenges of starting a new business in a new brand in Australia at the start of Covid and how she was able to make it a success. Preeti achieved “Partnership” at Ankura at the beginning of 2023, we talk about what that meant to her and how she wants to help and mentor anyone on a similar journey. I loved this chat with Preeti. We covered a lot, particularly the importance of persistence, how she built her network and eco-system, the importance of internal and external mentors in her career journey as well as her thoughts on the deals market in the next 6 to 12 months. Preeti’s Path to Partnership is inspirational and I think it will resonate with a lot of people. Hope you enjoy!
