GCC & People Leadership

Building and leading Global Capability Centres across industries and geographies — not just growing operations from scratch, but stabilizing them into innovation and collaboration hubs. As an HR leader, this spans org design, talent strategy, culture, governance, and guiding people through the GCC evolution from delivery engine to strategic partner. Beyond structure, the real work is human — building leadership pipelines, growing local capability, and creating cultures where talent chooses to stay.

Black Belt certified. Shared services and GCC operations, not from a consulting brief but from the inside. Experience across process design, operating model redesign, and large-scale transformation execution — including the Dual Velocity Model (IP in process), a framework developed from the ground up to help organisations run better today while building for tomorrow. The kind of work that involves hard decisions, difficult trade-offs, and getting things to actually land.
