Ananya Sharma — Consultant
Hi, I’m Ananya Sharma, Consultant in Assessment Design at Mercer Talent Enterprise, working at the intersection of applied psychology, psychometrics, and talent strategy to support organisations in making high-stakes people decisions. I work on the design and delivery of psychometric and assessment solutions, leadership and capability development frameworks, and evidence-based talent interventions that inform organisational strategy and long-term workforce outcomes. 👩🏻💻 What drives my work? I’m motivated by a deep interest in human potential, decision-making, and systems that enable people to perform and grow. My approach is grounded in scientific rigour and a strong belief that effective talent systems balance data, context, and individual difference. Across projects, I aim to translate psychological insight into solutions that are practical, scalable, and meaningful for both individuals and organisations. 🚀 Experience I bring 3+ years of experience across consulting, assessment design, talent management, and learning & development. Prior to Mercer, I’ve worked with organisations including BAT, TalentPredix, and the D.E. Shaw Group, gaining exposure to diverse organisational contexts and people processes. This breadth allows me to approach talent challenges with both analytical depth and operational perspective. 🎓 Education & credentials I hold a Master’s in Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology (Distinction) from King’s College London, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (Honours) from Lady Shri Ram College, University of Delhi. I’m also certified as a Mental Health First Aider (MHFA England), reflecting my commitment to psychological safety and wellbeing at work. 📚 Professional interests My interests span consulting, coaching, and research, particularly where psychometric assessment and evidence-based approaches can inform leadership development, organisational effectiveness, and talent strategy. I’m especially interested in how research and psychological science can guide strategic decision-making and policy-relevant people frameworks. 🏃🏻♀️➡️ Beyond work Outside of professional life, I’m deeply curious about history, politics, economics, philosophy, and science - fields that shape how societies and systems function. I enjoy thoughtful conversations and debates, and I recharge through theatre, dance, running, tennis, and music. 📩 Let’s connect If you’d like to exchange ideas on talent strategy, applied psychology, assessment, or organisational research, feel free to reach out via LinkedIn DM or at ananya.as24@gmail.com.
