I build talent, succession and leadership systems that help organisations make better people decisions at scale. Across 17+ years in consulting, technology, retail and insurance, I have worked at the intersection of talent strategy, organisation development, leadership development, performance, culture and capability building. The common thread has been improving leadership readiness, succession depth, capability clarity and enterprise decision-making. My work focuses on connecting succession planning, high-potential identification, critical role depth, skills architecture, performance governance, leadership development, internal mobility and engagement signals into a more coherent view of organisational readiness. In my current Talent & Culture role at Axis Max Life Insurance, I partner with senior leadership across a 25,000+ employee organisation on enterprise talent review, succession, senior leadership integration, GPTW, engagement and culture priorities. Earlier, at Marks & Spencer India, Thoughtworks and Right Management, I built talent architectures, capability frameworks, leadership pipelines, assessment interventions and performance systems - combining consulting depth with internal ownership of enterprise talent priorities.
