Technical Program Management Consulting

I excel at shaping processes that bridge silos across departments, fostering a collaborative environment between product, engineering, and other teams to streamline workflows and accelerate product delivery. My approach not only focuses on the technical aspects of program management but also integrates a strong cultural component—building cross-functional communication, accountability, and transparency to ensure long-term success. Whether scaling an organization’s technical operations or refining day-to-day execution, I empower teams to operate more efficiently, innovate faster, and achieve strategic objectives with greater clarity and alignment.

As a seasoned Technical Program Management (TPM) leader with extensive experience collaborating at the executive level, I specialize in creating tailored strategies that align with your organization’s vision and culture. With a deep understanding of the technical landscape, I work with you to design comprehensive, actionable business plans and goal-setting frameworks, including OKRs, VMSOs, and other bespoke systems, to drive measurable outcomes.

Executive Coaching

As a certified Executive Faculty Coach with the prestigious Berkeley Executive Coaching Institute, I offer tailored coaching services designed to help leaders gain clarity, build alignment, and develop actionable next steps. Through one-on-one coaching, I work with clients to uncover their strengths, navigate complex challenges, and define clear pathways forward—empowering them to make confident decisions and drive personal and organizational growth.

In addition to individual coaching, I offer group coaching sessions that integrate insights and observations from diverse perspectives, fostering collaboration, empowerment, and collective action. These sessions are designed to unlock group potential, strengthen team dynamics, and align leadership efforts towards shared goals.

I also provide specialized Business Coaching services for climate organizations and incubators, serving as a trusted advisor and sounding board. With deep knowledge of the climate tech sector, I help leaders and founders in these organizations navigate the unique challenges they face, providing strategic guidance, fostering innovation, and supporting their mission-driven goals. Whether you’re looking for executive growth, organizational alignment, or guidance on scaling within a fast-evolving industry, I am here to support your journey.

Happy Aurita Clients

  • "Nisha is the "people luck" you need. I ran into that idea reading Jim Collins - your degree of luck in the people you met - and thought of it immediately after my first meeting with Nisha. We were building a prototype for a complex project and Nisha's combination of technical knowledge and deep personal and organizational wisdom was a god-send. Nisha is the kind of person who can help you get out of a jam, establish an incredible team, and grow a powerful organization. I look forward to coming to her with problems and opportunities for years to come."

    Jamie Biggar, Co-Founder at My Climate Plan

  • "As an end result of our work together, I was able to shift out of the 'feeling stuckness' into crafting a business plan that embraced my highest vision, mission, and core values in ways that led to immediate execution and implementation. I would not have been able to get this far without Nisha's unconditional positive regard and accountability support."

    Alexandra Sophia Marsalis, Consultant & Coach

  • "I like the open environment that Nisha creates to discuss any topic that is on my mind or issue that is going on at work and then tailor the session toward actionable solutions. I also really like the calm and safe environment that Nisha creates to speak openly and freely."

    Dorothy Bootle, VP of Operations at Oxygen8

  • "Nisha was great at holding me accountable, encouraging me and also validating me. With each session, I always walked away with so much clarity and feeling incredibly empowered."

    DeAngela Clayburn, Technical Program Manager at Textio

  • "“Nisha was wonderful to work with. I was extremely comfortable with her from the beginning. She has great techniques for keeping the flow of the meeting moving and for feeling out what works best for you. I never felt awkward or pressured to participate. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together."

    Melyssa Rehman, Clinical Skills Laboratory Technician at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine

  • "I really enjoyed working with Nisha! In particular, our sessions helped me tremendously to make a decision about my career/school path that I had been grappling with (and putting off) for months. I appreciated the variety of questions and exercises Nisha led me through, and how she tailored each session to my needs and learning style. Working with Nisha brought me the strength, courage, and perspective to get over the "hump" I felt helpless and stuck against for a long time. I am so grateful and can't thank her enough!"
