About

With 7+ years of experience in HR, finance, and communications - I basically connect the dots between people, processes, and performance. Over the years, I have led big changes, turned chaos into clarity, and built teams that not only perform but actually enjoy working together! I love partnering with leadership to tackle complex, high-stakes problems, whether that’s scaling culture, streamlining operations, or navigating those inevitable growing pains that come with building something great. High-growth, ever-changing environments? That’s my jam. Outside of work, you’ll probably find me trying out new experiences - whether that’s an art class, exploring a new city, or something completely out of my comfort zone because I believe fresh perspectives fuel better ideas :) If you would like to chat, please reachout to me at prachi.ahlu@gmail.com
