About

My business cards say things like Program Manager, Business HR, HRBP, Talent Acquisition & People Operations, Recruiter, HR Manager — and now, proudly, HR Strategic Program Head – Capacity Building. But titles only tell part of the story. At my core, I’m a Talent Manager, Program Manager, Tech HR Strategist, and Business Partner. I’m also a talent marketer, headhunter, social media recruiter, and a bit of a tech geek (ask me just a few tech questions — fair warning!). I’m passionate about building teams and programs that scale, and about solving complex people challenges through data-driven strategy and genuine human connection. Whether it’s employer branding, sourcing top-tier tech talent, managing a variabilized gig workforce (from hiring to retention), or leading people-focused initiatives end-to-end — I thrive at the intersection of technology, strategy, creativity, and execution. I’m a firm believer in the power of branding — not just for companies, but for people. We don’t make decisions based purely on logic. We move when we feel something. That’s true in marketing, in recruitment, in leadership — and in life. That’s why I help individuals and organizations tell their stories in bold, authentic, and human ways — stories that attract, connect, and drive real results. Specialties: Program Management, Business Partnering, Gig Workforce Management, Product-Solution Development, Talent Strategy, Tech Hiring, Social Media Recruitment, LinkedIn Branding, Headhunting, and Employer Brand Development. Want to connect, collaborate, or geek out about all things talent? You’ll find me at abhicca@gmail.com.
