About Charitha Changappa K

Building institutions that perform — and endure.I am a senior HR leader with over two decades of experience guiding global organizations through transformation, growth, and complex change. Across Novo Nordisk, 3M, and now Solventum, I have learned that sustainable performance is not built on speed alone, it is built on clarity, fairness, and leadership accountability.As Country HR Business Partner – India, I partner across the Business and a newly established Global Capability Center (GCC), shaping people strategy in environments that demand both operational discipline and thoughtful change.I have led M&A integrations, divestitures, restructuring, and organizational redesign, including the transition following the spin-off from 3M to Solventum. I am most effective in moments that require steadiness: when organizations are evolving, when leaders need perspective, and when people need clarity.My work sits at the intersection of business ambition and human reality. I focus on building governance that protects integrity, performance cultures that reward accountability, and leadership capability that strengthens institutions over time.I am known for being principled, direct, and deeply people-centered — able to challenge when required, support when needed, and remain anchored in fairness through complexity.
