About Tanuja P Rajasekharan

I believe that great outcomes—at home or at work—are built on strong, supportive teams. Whether I’m leading a group of engineers, mentoring a colleague, or guiding my kids, I thrive on bringing people together, identifying their unique strengths, building trust, and helping them collaborate to bring out the best in each other—and win as a team.Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked across Intel, Texas Instruments, and Broadcom in firmware, software, and systems roles. My expertise spans power management, secure boot, cryptography, multimedia, on pre- and post-silicon platforms, with deep hands-on experience in Intel and ARM-based architectures. I’ve driven programs from planning and estimation through successful execution to productization.At this stage of my career, I’m focused on enabling team growth, nurturing people-first leadership, and driving firmware innovation at scale. I lead with empathy, clarity, and alignment—firmly believing that every individual brings unique value. I’m also a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion: a core member of the Intel Women’s Network (WiN), and a founding member of Mo-mentoring, a mentoring initiative for working mothers.Let’s connect if you believe in building better teams and better futures—together.
