What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior HR role leading global mobility and talent development in a collaborative, growth-focused company where I can deliver compliance excellence, scalable L&D, and measurable talent outcomes.

I am a strategic HR and global mobility leader with 20+ years' experience in talent development, global mobility, employee integration, and HR transformation. I hold an Executive Diploma in Talent Management from XLRI and an MBA in Human Resources.

I have a demonstrated record of measurable impact: I improved petition accuracy from 65% to 95% and achieved a 96% USCIS approval rate, delivered leadership development programs that boosted team morale by 40%, and designed and delivered 100+ leadership and soft-skills programs for clients.

In program and compliance roles I increased engagement in executive development programs by 15% month-over-month, reduced petition processing time by 30% through SOC code optimization and training, and led quarterly compliance reviews and vendor governance initiatives that cut turnaround time by 25%.

I partner with business leaders to build learning roadmaps, strengthen leadership pipelines, and improve employee experience through data-driven learning strategies and robust mobility compliance. I seek opportunities to lead mobility and talent initiatives that deliver measurable compliance, capability, and engagement outcomes.
