At Cisco Systems, through Adecco India Pvt Ltd, I managed global L&D programs across APJC, AMER, and EMEA, aligning training plans with hiring needs. I also handled HR operations data, workforce planning, and budgets.

I worked with stakeholders to identify skill gaps and prepare teams for critical roles, coordinated training vendors and SoWs, and prepared quarterly spend and training reports for leadership.

Previously, at Cisco Systems through Synophic Systems, I helped deliver $91K worth of professional skills training every quarter and sourced trainers based on business requirements. I also served as the point of contact for APJC stakeholders on training matters.

At Synophic Systems, I handled end-to-end recruitment for technical and non-technical roles, including networking, software development, cloud, and cybersecurity. I closed around 150 positions to date and managed a client account from requirement gathering through vendor coordination and quotes.
