Why this works
Twenty-eight years of senior HR — enterprise scale, applied to founder-scale problems. My last in-house role was at Frost & Sullivan, leading global talent acquisition across thirty-six countries and HR for Middle East and South Asia.

Three Pillars
01
HR Consulting
Performance, retention, EVP design, greenfield operations, post-merger integration, talent acquisition at scale. Designed to shift commercial outcomes, not refine the process.
02
Training I design and deliver
Leadership, behavioural and HR-capability programmes. Includes AI for Recruiters (productised) and POSH & respectful-workplace training. Graduates earn a Certified Practitioner credential awarded by Kadavil Krafts Ltd.
03
Board Advisory & Mentoring
Board-advisory seats on people strategy. Mentoring for founders and students. Lead role in EU-side Global Capability Centre strategy.
The GCC bridge
Most European businesses building capability in India face the same upstream question — how does the people side of the GCC need to look, and who delivers it? I lead the European side of Professa's GCC Advisory practice as Regional Director EU and Partner — focused on the head-office decisions on leadership, talent and organisational design that determine whether the GCC scales or stalls.
