Sachin Chheda is a well-respected, behind-the-scenes power player and influencer in the worlds of business and politics. But being good at a thing doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it. Sachin recently ended his 17-year tenure as a political consultant and stepped down from his role as political director for Mayor Chevy Johnson, because he felt it was time for a change.
Embarking on a new journey, Sachin now serves as the Executive Director for Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction, channeling his influence to drive progress in public learning and libraries. With four children attending public school, Sachin says that they are source of inspiration as he navigates this change.
Join us for coffee with Sachin and learn about the insights and growth that come from building a successful career, and then deciding to build another.
