About Ushma Desai

I am a People & Organisation Development professional with 15+ years of experience, working across diverse industries to partner with business leaders on aligning people strategy with organisational goals.I work at the intersection of insight and structure, and translate insight, feedback, and diagnosis into durable changes in systems, roles, and ways of working.I specialise in second-order change: redesigning the structures that shape behaviour, rather than repeatedly addressing surface-level symptoms. I am particularly effective in environments navigating complexity, growth, or transition, where clarity, sustainability, and integrity matter more than quick fixes.My experience spans strategic HR Business Partnering, Employee Relations & Governance, Learning & Organisational Development, and data-driven people insights. I blend rigorous people practices with human-centred approaches to enable sustainable performance and healthy organisational cultures.
