Full bio

Pav Lertjitbanjong is a decision scientist, speaker and the founder of PAVNESS — the Unbreakable Leadership Lab. She is the creator of the Biology of Authority and the 3D Protocol, proprietary methodologies that train leaders to stop glitching under pressure and become impossible to ignore in the rooms that decide their careers.

Pav spent 20+ years inside Fortune 500s — survived 15+ layoffs and restructures, never let go — and left voluntarily at 43 with savings and a mission: to make the Biology of Authority available to every capable leader who has been where she was.

Her methodology is grounded in her lived experience, 27,000+ high-pressure meetings, Decision Science (BBA, University of Kentucky), Polyvagal-informed practice, interoceptive awareness training, and an MBA from Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. She completed additional training in AI Leadership and Public Speaking at Stanford University.

She is also the host of the PAVNESS Podcast.
