About Shilpa Anturkar

I serve as a trusted partner to C-suite leaders and real estate executives at Fortune 500 companies across sectors, guiding them in aligning their built environments with enterprise-wide strategic goals. Whether in the context of a transformative deal or steady-state operations, I enable clients to translate vision into tangible outcomes.With 20 years of global business experience, primarily in corporate and healthcare real estate, I bring a deep, end-to-end understanding of the asset lifecycle. From on-the-ground execution to enterprise-level strategic planning, I operate with a unique ability to connect details to vision and decisions to long-term value. Having worked extensively across the U.S. and Asia, I’ve built a strong cross-cultural acumen. I know how to influence, drive alignment, and create momentum in complex matrix organizations. These are capabilities I continue to lean on every day, leading diverse teams and partnering with global stakeholders.I believe in being bold…setting a clear, inspiring vision that energizes teams and pushes boundaries. Growth rarely happens inside the comfort zone.I believe in pragmatic optimism…grounding strategy in data, experience, and current realities, while relentlessly pursuing the art of the possible.I believe in integrity…choosing what is right over what is easy, and leading with values even when it is hard.And I believe in the power of human connection…because meaningful impact, in business and in life, starts with trust, empathy, and authentic collaboration.
