About

At present, I am serving as the Country Director in India. I joined our foundation in 2014 and went on to hold multiple leadership positions globally and in the India office, collaborating with governments, nonprofits, community groups, academia, and the private sector. In my last assignment as the Global Director of Program Policy, I oversaw advocacy and communications efforts to advance the goals of the foundation for our Economic Opportunity portfolio. Previously I have led Media and Marketing Communications at Reckitt, South and Southeast Asia, guiding Africa and Middle East Region, and have held various leadership positions in advertising and media organizations.
