Lakshmi Athreya

Consulting Partner – Agile Practice at Effilor

A Technologist-turned-Coach with 30+ years across Tata Infotech, McAfee, Apple, Wipro, and a lineup of spirited startups, Lakshmi has helped Teams reboot, build culture, craft processes, and achieve excellence—from the ground up to global scale.
Now at Effilor Consulting, she works at the intersection of AI and Agility—where Systems meet Soul. Her strength lies in tailoring Agile practices to align with the unique cultural and operational realities of each team. She strives to bring Empathy to Enterprise and transform Frameworks into lived Experience.

Along the way, she’s quietly mentored a generation of tech leaders—many now leading with the same spark she once lit.
