Many of us today have been conditioned to believe that happiness will come after achieving a version of success based on money and titles that have been spoon-fed to us our entire lives. Anu Muralidharan, COO and Board Member of Expensify, reached a low point six years into chasing this version of fulfillment. Gripped by crippling depression, she knew she had to find a new definition of success. 

In an attempt to escape her circumstances, Anu immigrated to the United States to attend business school, accumulating $120,000 worth of debt in the process. Before she landed a job at Citibank, Anu cold-called hundreds, if not thousands of companies. As Anu describes it, she was always chasing after the next big thing, never stopping to ask herself if she was happy. Anu realized it was up to her to change her trajectory and began to follow her heart in an experiment that would lead her on the career path she is currently on. Throughout her career, Anu has faced self-doubt, a critical inner voice, and imposter syndrome, which has led her to offer keynote speeches on how high-achieving women can conquer all of these. Mentoring up-and-coming women entrepreneurs now brings her joy.
