Pooja Nair — Program Manager
I’m a PMP and Certified Scrum Master (CSM) accredited Program Manager with 8+ years of experience leading end-to-end New Product Development (NPD) programs across hardware, firmware and software domains. My experience spans global technology environments including RØDE Microphones and Cisco Systems, where I’ve delivered complex, cross-functional programs from concept through validation, manufacturing and product launch. I work at the intersection of engineering, operations and business strategy — ensuring alignment between technical execution and commercial outcomes. I specialise in: • EVT–DVT–PVT lifecycle management • Global stakeholder and cross-functional leadership • Agile & hybrid program delivery • RAID management and governance frameworks • Regulatory compliance (CE, UL, RoHS) • Customer escalation and root cause resolution At RØDE, I led concurrent NPD programs while enhancing manufacturing readiness, streamlining transition gates and improving production efficiency. At Cisco, I managed global NPI enablement across four international sites, improving launch readiness and reducing customer downtime through structured corrective action and risk mitigation frameworks. I’m known for bringing structure to complexity — turning ambiguity into clear roadmaps, measurable milestones and high-quality outcomes. My approach blends technical depth with strong communication and executive reporting, enabling informed decision-making across diverse stakeholder groups. I’m open to opportunities in Program Management, Technical Program Management and technology-driven product organisations where I can drive strategic impact through disciplined execution.
