Aditi Taylor, a senior manager in Deloitte & Touche LLP’s Audit and Enterprise Risk Services practice. She joined Deloitte & Touche in 1999 after completing her MBA at the McCallum Graduate School at Bentley University. In her current position she helps many of Deloitte’s largest clients enhance their business operations by enabling them to better manage risks with efficient and effective business processes, controls, and sophisticated technology solutions.

In 2006, Aditi was one of a handful of high-performing women from Deloitte’s worldwide organization to be profiled on International Women’s Day.  She was selected as the sole New England representative on Deloitte’s National Women’s Initiative Senior Managers’ Advisory Group and was also appointed to the Senior Manager Advisory Council for ERS in the Northeast. 

Aditi was selected by the Boston Business Journal for this year's list of 40 under 40. Aditi spoke to Lokvani about this award, her work and life interests.

Aditi is known in the community for the work she has done with many different organization including IAGB and her successful presentation of the hit Marathi Musical Durga Zali Gauri.
 

 What does it mean to you get this award?

It is truly an honor. It reaffirms that hard work and dedication does pay off, be it in the area of your profession or your civic and community involvement.

Why did you chose Audit and Enterprise Risk as career opportunity?
Working for a professional services firm enables me to explore various industries, work with different companies and meet with various members of senior client management. Enterprise Risk services is interesting because we deal with various board level issues and help deal with issues to mitigate financial, operational and regulatory risks. 

Why did you get involved in the diversity initiatives at your company?
 
Diversity is the need of the hour and Deloitte has truly recognized this. Strength from Diversity is the one of the firm's core values. Being a person of diverse background myself, I recognize the importance of achieving full inclusion and the difficulties faced by someone of diverse background as they try to assimilate themselves in corporate America.

You seemed to have given a lot of time to mentoring at your
company. Why did chose to give extra time to this effort?
 
Mentoring is very important to succeed in your career. I have been fortunate to have found mentors, who have been very supportive and a great guiding force in my career. I feel I need to pay it forward.

After the phenomenal success of Durga Zali Gauri, do we have any
other plays in the offing?
 
Still researching, but no concrete plans at this time.

You are the mom of two kids , successful in your career and very
active in community activities. How do you manage to do it all?
 
Honestly, everything manages itself if your heart lies in what you are doing. I am very passionate about all the activities I am involved in, be it my work or other community activies. What's equally important, is the unwavering support of your family. Had it not been for the support of my husband and my mom, I don't think I would be able to achieve much.
 
Any advice for youngsters trying to enter your field?
Aspire, Attempt & Achieve!

Thank you for your time

Thanks
