About

My journey over the last 14 years as a human resources professional has been defined by a commitment to fostering workplace excellence and nurturing talent. I have recently joined DP World as HR Business Partner. My expertise lies in crafting strategies for enriched employee experience, engagement, talent management, and high-performance culture that resonate with the unique needs of the digital landscape. In my last stint, at Deutsche Telekom Digital Labs, I was responsible to create and sustain a dynamic culture where our people thrive. My team's success at Snapdeal, where I managed HR for a brief yet transformative period, set the stage for my current role—pioneering HR solutions that align with the evolving demands of the tech sector. My initial years of managing human resources at SchoolNet equipped me with the right skills on talent acquisition, talent management, payroll and compliance that helped strengthen my foundation as an HR professional.
