Our Founder
We're committed to helping you create a workplace where every employee can thrive.

She has over 12 years of experience in creating professional development frameworks and environments that enables underrepresented individuals to thrive. Prior to launching Brij the Gap Consulting, Devika was a sales and people leader who transformed her career at top global companies like Google, LinkedIn and several tech startups. As a woman of color who drove significant value for the companies she worked for, she often felt like an outsider and overlooked despite her professional achievements. Through these experiences, Devika created frameworks to help underrepresented individuals like her bridge the gap and attain the professional advancement they deserved. Using these frameworks, Devika transformed her entry level role into a people leader position in less than 6 years, increased her salary by 6X and helped her peers achieve similar success.
Today, Devika dedicates her days to helping organizations improve employee performance and productivity, increase retention, foster a more effective workforce and influence brand perception. Through a variety of workshops, programs and consulting services, Devika has helped dozens of organizations like Meta, Visa, Reddit, Morgan Stanley and many more to empower their employees to drive their careers forward while helping organizations to increase retention.

Drew Rosenthal
Working with Devika was a dream – she is communicative, thoughtful, inquisitive, and thorough. She ensured that she wasn’t just presenting content on a subject matter; she also specifically wove in Glassdoor’s values and career competencies. I cannot recommend her enough!
Andrea Johnson
The online content is some of the strongest I’ve seen in this space and their expertise and energy comes through the prerecorded videos so well, but the live sessions took it another level! I can’t recommend BTG Consulting highly enough.
