Divya's Rise

Divya didn’t choose the entrepreneurship life — the entrepreneurship life chose her. Though she considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur,” Divya’s portfolio would suggest the opposite. As the founder of Wander Beauty (her fourth venture), Divya knows exactly what she’s doing when it comes to starting businesses.

Rewind 20 years and you’ll find Divya as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. From there, she caught the private equity and venture capital bug before going on to starting, selling, and investing in more than 75 companies. Today, as the Co-Founder and CEO of Wander Beauty, Divya has led the company to win more than 35 prestigious beauty awards and it remains a must-have for celebrities and influencers alike.

Professional Superpower

Divya sidelines as a mentor for fellow entrepreneurs, working with groups like HeyMama, Female Founder Collective, Fashion Mamas, and Miami Angels. She also guest lectures at Wharton, Kellogg, Cornell, Columbia, NYU and many more universities around the country.

Personal Superpower

In addition to her expertise in the entrepreneurship space, Divya also attended the French Culinary Institute and is the author of Sexy Women Eat: Secrets to Eating What You Want and Still Looking Fabulous.

What Drives Divya

Divya knows that entrepreneurship isn’t a solo act — it takes a village. Over her 20-year career as an entrepreneur and investor, Divya has made it her mission to support women like her who are just as driven to build, grow, and scale their companies.
