About

With over 14+ years of global HR experience across SaaS, PLM, IT, and manufacturing companies, I am a strategic and agile HR professional who drives business results through effective people solutions. My last stint was a Regional HR Business Partner for APAC at Ivalua, a leading provider of cloud-based spend management software. As a trusted business partner, I collaborate with leaders and teams across India, Singapore, and Australia on hiring challenges, team efficiency, organizational alignment, employee growth and retention, performance management, and leadership capability. I also work closely with the Global HR team in America and EMEA to ensure alignment on corporate initiatives and best practices. I have successfully led and executed multiple greenfield projects, such as setting up new office locations, recruiting executive positions, and implementing HRMS systems. I am certified in Unconscious Bias, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, and I leverage my HRIS skills and platforms such as Workday, SAP, Cultureamp, LinkedIn Learning, and Udemy to create a positive and inclusive work culture.
