Malini Srikrishna builds the systems, teams, and structures that turn ambitious ideas into lasting outcomes across education, health, finance, media, supply chain, and technology.
Malini Srikrishna is an operations executive, founder, and systems builder with a decade of experience turning complex, high-stakes ideas into measurable outcomes. She has led initiatives across education, health, finance, media, supply chain, and technology, building the structures that let organisations move from intention to impact.
A Harvard Divinity School graduate and Morrill Scholar, Malini brings a rare combination of analytical rigour and human-centred thinking. She understands that great operations aren't just about efficiency; they're about creating the conditions where people and ideas thrive.
She founded Milan Global, spun out of the Harvard Innovation Labs, to provide business, storytelling, technology, and capacity-building services to impactful startups, organisations, and leaders around the world. She has also served as Vice President of Global Operations at NxGen COACH Network™ and Director of Partnerships at the Harvard Alumni for Global Development. Running operations at Cavela, she built systems from scratch to automate end-to-end sourcing and supply chain processes for brands worldwide.
Across every context she has worked in, the pattern is the same: Malini is the person who makes things actually happen.
From global leadership networks to Harvard-backed accelerators, from conference launches to youth education platforms. Malini's track record spans organisations of every size, sector, and geography.
Malini's value isn't a single skill; it's the rare ability to operate across the full stack of building something: from strategy to systems, from team to execution, from stakeholders to outcomes.
"You can't serve the world well
if your own house isn't in order."
Great operations are not a backstage function. They are the main event. Every outcome Malini has delivered, from conference launches to global network expansions, rests on the same foundation: systems designed for humans, not just for efficiency.
Whether you're launching something new, scaling something that's working, or fixing something that isn't; Malini brings the operational expertise to make it happen. Reach out to start a conversation.
