Aditi Wagh โ Product Manager
Hello! I am an interdisciplinary design strategist and communications specialist with over eight years of experience. A keen observer and a story teller, I bring a nuanced approach with my background in Social Design, Knowledge Development and Applied Sociology. Adept in leading health, education, gender, climate change, and social inclusion projects, I have run end-to-end cycles from research design to pilot, scale and implementation. Proficient in systems thinking and human-centered design, I strive to co-design experiences, tools and knowledge outputs that place people at the heart of solution building. I love that my work allows me to engage with diverse actors, invite them to the decision making table, and facilitate outcomes that promote equity & optimize impact. Besides my multidisciplinary background, I bring to the table the expertise to: ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ. Run agile project cycles and conduct quality context-aware research delivering rich insights to improve outcomes for services, experiences and products. ๐ฏ. Lead and manage projects while engaging with cross-sectoral teams such as community actors, academia, government and private stakeholders to achieve project vision. ๐ฌ. Articulate, curate and disseminate information in a way that is engaging and user-centric whether it is insights, reports, presentations, articles, or grant proposals.
