ABOUT KANISHK WIDHANI

A proud Indian brought up in a family with service to the Indian Armed Forces for two generations—I have always been exposed to constant change and the adaption that pairs along with it. This unique background instilled resilience and provided me the knowledge of dealing with a variety of different types of clientele and working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds, regardless of their generation or ethnicity. I am a highly certified Strategic Leader and Six Sigma Black Belt empowering Organizational Development and Change Management. Currently pursuing a Master of Management at Schulich School of Business, my core expertise lies in translating vision into Operational Excellence. During my tenure at Marriott International, I directly applied these principles as an Assistant Manager, L&D, achieving 150% annual compliance for the Certified Departmental Trainer program in 90 days. My Business Analytics approach leveraged Six Sigma methodologies to streamline check-in processes, resulting in a 40% reduction in guest wait times and improving Guest Voice Metrics by 34%. My strength is my mind. Oftentimes, my creative mindset has been referred to as being unrealistic, but I have never let that come in the way of my work. Rather, it helps me take the same unrealism as a challenge, using innovative visionary strategies to maximize results with minimal resources. I have acquired a breadth of skills from over 23 different teams, giving me valuable Cross-Functional Team Leadership experience. I am currently pivoting towards a full-time role leveraging Strategy, Analytics, and Change Management. Ready to discuss how my data-driven approach to Talent Development can drive measurable impact for your organization.
