ABOUT ROOPALI DHAMNE GAHIWAD
Over the past 22+ years, I’ve had the opportunity to work at the intersection of business strategy and people transformation across APAC and the Middle East. I believe great organizations are built when business strategy and talent strategy move together.My role as a Regional HR Leader has been to help leadership teams design organizations that are agile, future-ready, and capable of sustaining growth in complex global markets. Today, I lead HR for APAC & MEA supporting 1,100+ employees across 17 countries, partnering with senior leaders on organizational design, leadership capability, workforce transformation, and culture building. I enjoy navigating diverse markets and translating global frameworks into solutions that work locally. What drives my work: • Building strong leadership pipelines and succession depth • Enabling organizational transformation and workforce strategy • Leveraging HR digitalization, automation, and people analytics to improve decision-making • Creating engaging, high-performance cultures where people and business grow together. I’m particularly interested in evolving workforce models which will reshape the future of HR and leadership.
