She also spent three years as managing director of CEB’s government practice and, before that, eight years as managing director of the company’s finance practice. She has authored more than 25 major papers on topics ranging from risk and talent management to collaboration, benchmarking, and technology adoption.

Sampriti received a BA with distinction in economics and political science from Swarthmore College.

She then received her MBA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
