Girija Damodare
Founder & Principal Consultant, Odyssey
For over three decades, I have worked at the heart of growing businesses—leading teams, strengthening operations, managing change, and helping organizations navigate periods of growth and transition.
Over the years, I’ve learned that lasting business success is about more than processes and strategies. It comes from strong leadership, a healthy workplace culture, and people working towards a shared purpose. That belief inspired me to establish Odyssey.
Today, I partner with founders, business leaders, and growing organizations to strengthen workplace culture, support leadership teams, and navigate change with practical, people-focused solutions. Every organization has its own journey, and my role is to help leaders navigate that journey with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Why I Started Odyssey
There’s a reason I chose the name Odyssey. Every organization is on its own journey—shaped by its people, its challenges, its ambitions, and the changes it encounters along the way.
In this short introduction, I share more about my own journey, what led me to start Odyssey, and why I believe strong cultures and people-focused leadership are at the heart of sustainable business success.
