My career includes leadership roles with Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Radisson, and leading Indian hospitality brands.I have partnered closely with Owners, Boards, Managing Directors, and Executive Committees, translating business objectives into people strategies that strengthen culture, elevate leadership capability, and support sustainable growth. My experience includes multi-property HR governance, pre-openings, change management, executive hiring, engagement transformation, and compliance excellence.Known for a calm, people-centric leadership style, I am passionate about building high-performance cultures, developing future-ready leaders, and positioning HR as a strategic enabler of business and guest experience excellence.
