Sachi Shenoy

Co-Founder + CEO

Sachi Shenoy works for a future in which every human can live a life of dignity, one with agency, financial security, and meaningful work. Her training spans economics, finance, and data science, and every role in her 25-year career has intersected these disciplines. She co-founded Calidris in 2022 to help mission-driven organizations glean insights from their data and amplify the voices of those they serve. Prior to Calidris she co-founded Upaya Social Ventures, serving as its Executive Director and Chief Impact Officer. She also worked as a foreign exchange trader and helped launch the Morgan Markets platform at JP Morgan Chase, advised the banking industry as a Pricewaterhouse Coopers consultant, developed new impact assessment strategies at Unitus, and co-led the first urban microfinance operation for SKS in New Delhi. Sachi holds a BA in Economics and MBA in Finance with high honors from the University of Chicago. She is a survivor, grateful for the opportunity to wear different hats: that of an entrepreneur, life-long learner, disability advocate, musician, investor, and writer. To get her excited one need only ask about her rescue dogs or buttered popcorn obsession.
