“To Madhavi Jagdish, thank you for believing in me. You helped launch me into this world which I truly enjoy being a part of. For that, I am forever grateful.”
“Madhavi exemplifies all Pear behaviors and is an extraordinary leader who leads by example and her dedication, support, and worth ethic is unparalleled.”
I’m currently Director of Product Design at Salesforce, working on Health Cloud. My passion is helping people live healthier lives, and bringing disparate disconnected healthcare systems together to help them achieve better outcomes. I previously led the UX team at Pear Therapeutics, where we designed prescription digital apps for the treatment of serious diseases.
I've worked in diverse environments—ranging from being part of a process-driven bigger design team at a large corporation to the sole designer at a 5-person startup. I've also managed my own design studio with local employees and overseas developers. I understand the balance between user and business needs, and work fast and iteratively with product managers and developers on the most effective solution to solve the problem at hand.
I’ve built design and research teams, mentoring and coaching those teams to achieve excellent outcomes for their users and themselves. I’m passionate about helping people succeed.
I've taught design classes at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, India. I also mentored a group of graduate students at the Design and Development of Web-based Products and Services class at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
I’m passionate about user-centered design, and the potential it has to solve real-world problems in efficient and innovative ways.
