About

With nearly 18 years of experience in talent acquisition and HR, I am a strategic leader who builds and scales the world-class teams that power business growth at global technology giants like Google and Amazon. My expertise lies in architecting the human capital strategy required for hyper-growth environments, partnering with executive leaders to translate ambitious business goals into tangible hiring results. I thrive on building things from the ground up and taking them to scale. Key highlights of my experience in driving growth include: Scaling New Business Verticals: At Amazon, I was instrumental in scaling several key businesses from their nascent stages, including Amazon Pay, MiniTV, Prime Video, and IN Advertising. Building from Scratch: I demonstrated my entrepreneurial drive at OLX by establishing the company's India technology development center from the ground up. I also built the initial Sales vertical, hiring its first 100+ employees. Fueling High-Volume Growth: At Google Cloud, I lead recruiting for strategic areas like GCP, GTM, & GSD, leading my team to deliver on a historic demand to meet critical business needs. Driving Strategic Initiatives: As the India AI Lead for Google, I design the strategies to attract and assess the specialized talent that is critical for future product growth. I am also a passionate champion for DEI, having driven improvement in diverse leadership hiring through multiple strategic initiatives. I am passionate about leveraging my experience in building high-performing organizations to solve new challenges in a growth-focused business role. Let's connect to discuss how I can help scale your vision.
