About Tejasie Mendonca

A multidisciplinary professional with over 17 years of experience in dynamic corporate and consulting environments across India and the Middle East. Skilled in working with organisations and clients across the IT, financial services, real estate, consulting, automotive, pharmaceutical, and government sectors. As the Legal and Public Policy Program Manager at Akraya for LinkedIn, I manage country-level operations across the Legal and Public Policy functions. In alignment with LinkedIn’s vision of creating economic opportunity for every member of the workforce, as well as with national priorities, we advocate for gender equality, the transition to a sustainable and digital economy, and the development of a skills-based labour market, while navigating a complex regulatory landscape. To support these goals, I manage stakeholder engagement and campaign execution, partnering closely with cross-functional teams, government relation consultants, think tanks and trade associations. Concurrently, I oversee budget management, vendor onboarding, contracts, compliance, and AP processes for the APAC Public Policy team. On the legal side, I provide comprehensive paralegal and operational support across litigation and governance matters. My work involves close coordination with external counsel, internal stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure timely and compliant execution. Previously, I held roles at Capital Float (Axio), Continental Group of Companies (Aumovio), PwC Middle East, DTZ (Cushman & Wakefield), Microsoft Gulf (AMS International), and Dell, demonstrating expertise in project management, event coordination, executive support, and stakeholder engagement. At PwC Middle East, I contributed to corporate investigations, conducted open-source due diligence, and supported dispute resolution for regional and global clients.I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Mass Communication, a Bachelor of Commerce, and was a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) from 2013 to 2019, awarded by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
