  • About me

    Performance lives within teams. All of us know this, but struggle to get best out of our teams. As a leader of Team Success organization within HR, I have a unique opportunity to accelerate team performance by consulting with each team, studying the nature and dynamics, strategize and design interventions that would range from a simple workshop to a more deeper consulting engagement that would include but not limited to a diagnostic, workshop, coaching, and periodic check-ins with business leaders. Strong business acumen coupled with several years of Learning & Development experience made me a well-rounded professional. My passion for helping people grow and develop brought me to where I am today. In the entire span of my career, I have designed, developed, delivered many learning interventions ranging from office productivity to behavioral and leadership skills. I have also served as a personal coach and mentor to many students and employees helping them succeed in their chosen areas of interest.
