Preetika Rana
Director
Preetika is an award-winning journalist with 14 years of experience reporting for The Wall Street Journal around the globe. She advises the world’s leading technology companies on storytelling, crisis and high-stakes communication challenges.
Preetika has lived in San Francisco, New York, Hong Kong and New Delhi, cultivating a deep understanding of business across industries and cultures. As a journalist, she interviewed CEOs of multi-billion-dollar companies and captured them at defining moments: amid boardroom shakeups, IPOs, regulatory battles and breakthrough innovations.
Her technology stories were frequently on the front page of The Wall Street Journal, while her investigative work—spanning healthcare to consumer companies—shaped corporate practices and public policy. She understands what builds trust and what erodes it, helping CEOs and C-suite leaders navigate complexity with clarity, credibility and impact.
Outside work, Preetika is a certified yoga instructor and cares deeply about building happy and healthy teams. She continues to mentor reporters and recently taught the business journalism program at UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
