About

With over 12 years of experience across Human Resources and Learning & Development, I currently head end-to-end People & Culture initiatives at greytHR, a leading full-suite HRMS provider. In my role as Director – HR, I partner closely with business leaders to design and execute people strategies that enable growth, foster culture, and drive sustainable performance. My work spans the full HR spectrum, talent management, learning & leadership development, employee experience, performance, and organizational effectiveness, with a strong belief that when people thrive, businesses do too. At the core of my journey is a deep passion for people and purpose. I am a Certified Professional Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, Dale Carnegie–certified Soft Skills Trainer, and Six Sigma Green Belt, and have had the privilege of delivering transformative coaching and learning interventions across corporate, education, and non-profit sectors. These experiences have strengthened my ability to influence change at both the individual and organizational level. Recognized with multiple awards for academic excellence and professional performance, I bring a balance of strategic thinking, empathy, and execution rigor to everything I do. My mission is simple yet powerful: to build workplaces where people feel heard, valued, and empowered, and where culture becomes a true competitive advantage. I strive to be a catalyst for meaningful change, helping individuals unlock their potential and organizations create lasting impact
