Asha C Devi
@ashacdevi
Director of Program Management, building governance frameworks and delivering measurable operations excellence through transformations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior operations and program leader with 15+ years of experience building governance frameworks and running enterprise-scale transformations across global, matrixed organizations. I’m especially known for end-to-end Post-Merger Integration leadership (Sykes–Sitel) with zero client escalations, plus program portfolio governance across concurrent multi-geography workstreams.
I bring deep expertise in PMO, CoE design, process standardization, and change management—paired with strong executive presence. In my current role at Foundever (formerly Sitel Group), I led a major platform migration by upskilling 60+ team members across four global locations, maintained SLA compliance using Jira and MS Project, and delivered measurable cost synergies by eliminating post-merger redundancies. I also sustain team engagement through DEI and employee wellbeing initiatives, hold a 100% manager satisfaction rating for eight consecutive years, and achieved a 100% leadership conversion rate by developing 7 of 7 direct reports into leadership roles.
