What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, values employee development, and offers opportunities for strategic impact.

I am a management professional with over 14 years of experience in various aspects of human resources, including people strategy, HR transformation, organizational design, and talent management. My career spans corporate HR roles and global HR consulting projects, where I have successfully led initiatives that drive organizational effectiveness and employee engagement.

In my recent role as AVP of HR Transformation at the British Council, I spearheaded projects focused on organizational design and talent management frameworks, resulting in significant improvements in succession planning and high-potential programs. My experience at HCL Technologies involved leading the H2R transformation project, where I assessed and implemented industry-leading HR solutions, enhancing operational efficiency across multiple HR functions.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to HR technology and change management, receiving accolades such as the 'Above and Beyond' award from Accenture for my work on a major client project. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to foster a culture of continuous learning and development within organizations.
