About Paraag Maddiwar

I’m an L&D strategist, rethinking what’s possible for STEM talent retention, development, recognition, and advancement. Today’s tech-centric business environment demands more STEM talent at a time when turnover is high, employee engagement is low, and the pipeline is thin. No business can afford to have untapped talent, but few have the resources or programs to rapidly improve skills, productivity, and results.My passion is developing programs that result in a meaningful, visible, and rapid difference in people, organizations, and businesses. My expertise is envisioning, executing, and scaling programs for key touch points along the skill development journey.I have over 20 years of corporate experience leading and building capability in one of the world’s largest consumer products companies, Procter & Gamble.Most recently, I led professional program development at SASE (Society of Asian Scientist and Engineers). In 5 short years, SASE Pro built a reputation as a premier developer of Asian leadership & technical talent for some of the world’s largest corporations.Expertise: L&D Strategies, Program Development and Scaleup, ERG and BRG Program Leadership; STEM talent retention, development, and advancement; Project Management; Nonprofit program development
