About

Recognized as a Top HR Voice on LinkedIn and winner of The Economic Times ETHRWorld Emerging Leaders League, I am a global HR leader with 14+ years of experience shaping Compensation & Benefits and HR strategy across EMEA & APAC. I have led large-scale initiatives to harmonize pay structures, integrate people practices during M&A, and design innovative benefits that strengthen fairness, engagement, and retention. Alongside this, I bring experience in applying analytics and emerging technologies, including AI, to make rewards more transparent and to enable leaders to take data-informed decisions. As a Certified Rewards Professional (CRP), Certified Performance Management Expert, and Mental Wellbeing Ambassador (MWA), I combine functional expertise with a passion for inclusion, well-being, and mentorship — helping to develop future HR leaders and build workplaces that are transparent, resilient, and future-ready.
