Aarti Sahgal is the Founder & CEO of Synergies Work – the only nonprofit in the U.S. that enables entrepreneurs with disabilities to build sustainable businesses. We do so by providing end-to-end business solutions and bridging the opportunity gaps between the disability and the business community.
Synergies Work is a personal mission that stems from the life experiences of Aarti Sahgal. As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, she is constantly challenging the soft bigotry of low expectations that excludes people with disabilities from living their true potential. Aarti has been working for more than 17 years on building inclusive communities and workforce strategies for individuals with disabilities.
Aarti is the President of GA APSE(Association of People Supporting Employment First) and is on the board of the state Rehabilitation Council.
