35 years of building organizations across five continents. At Hughes Software Systems, employee number 37. The role was one most people said could not exist. CHRO and CIO at the same time. Also ran engineering, set up the BPO business as CEO, and served as Chief Ethics Officer. The company grew to over 10,000 people and did a successful IPO. Business Today put us on their cover. CIO Magazine gave us a Top 5 award for what we built in HR technology. That was in 2001. Two decades before the industry caught up. At Tata Communications, 14 years as Global CHRO. 15,000 people across 40 countries. Also led Sustainability, Health and Safety, Supply Chain, Business Continuity, and Ethics. We built platforms for learning, internal mobility, and career planning that were years ahead of the market.

Edie Goldberg featured our internal mobility platform as an eight-page case study in The Inside Gig. Before both, C-DOT. First job was chief of staff to Sam Pitroda, where India's telecom revolution began. What I care about now: Advisory boards of Spire.AI, Rypple.AI, and World Forum for Ethics in Business.
