Priya has a life-long fascination with people and what they need in order to thrive. She started her career in human services as a vocational evaluator, but that opportunity opened the door to several others, resulting in a broad-based experience that included case management, assisting clients with setting and achieving personal and vocational goals, offering support and resources to help obtain and retain employment in the community, and behavioral assessment along with positive, proactive behavior support and management. Priya’s area of specialty is a broad understanding of behavior, what causes and sustains both desirable and undesirable behavior, and her knowledge and expertise of those principles as they apply to a broad spectrum of people.

As the co-founder of several successful companies, including Allwel, a healthcare company in Buffalo, NY, Priya admits that the favorite part of her role as a leader is the creativity that can be employed in solving work problems, using a mutual vision and value system that herself and her partner, Chris Brown-Hall, use as their guide for decision making. Through it all, Priya has a steadfast commitment to sustaining a workplace that is comfortable and respectful, where individuals can use their talents to flourish and grow and, where they can achieve recognition and value.

PintoHall Leadership was established in June of 2023. In co-leading Allwel with Chris Brown-Hall (and Don Cuddihy—one of the original partners), Priya discovered her passion to help people grow and be their best selves. In March of 2023, Chris and Priya became certified Maxwell leadership trainers. Through this certification Priya is excited to take her experience to a new level where leaders look past the standard definition of performance, as measured only by growth of the bottom line, to performance where the bottom line grows because employees are excited and invested and adopt the company mission as their own. Whether it is understanding their communication styles or those of their team members to understanding what blocks them from success and how to remove those blocks- Priya is excited to help the individual assess and develop their own leadership skills
