Rishu Yadav
An international educator and innovation consultant dedicated to equipping students with the mindsets needed for a sustainable future. With over 15 years of experience across Sweden, Denmark and India, Rishu has mentored thousands of students in the transformative methodologies of Design Thinking and Creative Leadership.
Raised and educated in Sweden, Rishu's early career combined high-performance athletics with academic rigour. A National Champion at Collin College in the USA and a graduate of the world-renowned Hyper Island, he transitioned from a career as an innovation consultant for global corporates to a mission-driven path in the education sector.
From corporate to classroom
As an Innovation Consultant for the Stockholm agency Fantastic Studios, Rishu designed high-impact learning experiences for global corporations. Recognising that the tools of innovation are most potent when taught early, he shifted his focus to education — developing Design Thinking curricula for organisations such as The Good Talents and Method Kit.
