Nishita Palkar

Nishita Palkar has nearly 15 years of leadership experience in the manufacturing, automation, and technology industries. She was most recently Director of Product Management for Branson (subsidiary of Emerson NYSE:EMR) — the market-leader in ultrasonic welding machines and related software — leading a $400M business portfolio and managing a team of product and project managers.

Nishita started her career on the manufacturing shop-floor of a fabrication facility as one of the first woman supervisors in the company’s history. Nishita was responsible for the manufacturing of complex, proprietary, heat exchangers weighing several hundred tons for power, fertilizer and chemical plants; and also for the supervision of the workmen and the shift.

Nishita spent the next several years strategically taking on roles that touch several facets of the organization, which would develop her to ultimately lead a business. She has been successful in several functions such as product management, customer-success, manufacturing operations, strategy, and business development. She has successfully driven business growth strategy, doubled revenues, and introduced new innovations in the industry. She has been part of business leadership teams, as well as one of the trusted advisors to the CEO and COO of Emerson. She is as comfortable on the factory floor as she is in the boardroom.

Nishita has been responsible for customer and supplier relationships since her early career and has enjoyed being the trusted partner of several major players in the industry.

Nishita has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Mumbai, and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Harvard Business School.
