About Lakshay Goyal

I’m the Chief Operating Officer at Nomadworks, a platform that lives at the intersection of innovation, culture, and community in New York City. With over 100 companies across two locations in Midtown Manhattan, we’ve become a go-to hub for the city’s creative and startup scenes - hosting everything from NYFW activations to Gates Foundation initiatives, and working with partners like The New York Times, MIT, and beyond. As seen in Forbes, we’re building something that pushes the tempo and doesn’t quite fit a category.Outside of Nomadworks, I’m a musician and actor with over streams across platforms, seen on IMDb, and several film credits - including performances recognized by NYU Tisch and features in Rolling Stone India. Whether through business or the arts, I’m focused on telling stories, building community, and making things that move people.I graduated from the University of Florida, where I studied Political Science and Innovation - a mix that pushed me to think critically, build intentionally, and stay curious. That mindset has shaped everything I’ve done since.
