ML330: Dr. Amrita Subramanian (Author & Leader)

by | Mar 26, 2025 | Author, CEO, Leadership | 0 comments

Dr. Amrita Subramanian is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises. 

Currently, she teaches at the University of Pennsylvania, focusing on post-traumatic growth through the pandemic.

As the world faced COVID, the first collective trauma/crisis disruption in modern-day history, Amrita launched a first-of-its-kind study to explore how pain leads to growth and analyze our ability to heal ourselves during an unparalleled crisis.

Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Her lessons draw from the evidence-based practices of everyday people who have shown heartfelt humility and wisdom in the face of crisis and devastation.

The research study has amassed global participation, showing that the pandemic strengthened us and renewed our sense of identity, purpose, and community.

Amrita knows well that there is growth from trauma based on what she’s endured in her own life. 

At the age of five, she was abandoned in a convent. The trauma and abuse she endured throughout that time resulted in selective mutism (among other things) until she was 11 years old. 

Amrita is now using her voice to help guide humanity and speak out about the many facets of pain and what good could come from them.
