About
Leaders grow when people and technology work together.
I lead leadership development at DFI Retail Group in Hong Kong, as Group Head of Leadership Development, Head of L&D for Functions and Head of AI for People & Culture. My work sits where people, performance and technology meet — helping leaders grow, and helping organisations build the capability to keep growing.
Before DFI, I was Director of Global Learning at Manulife, where I led our GenAI-powered learning work, and Regional Director at Gallup for ASEAN, where I was a top strengths coach. Along the way I've lived and worked across Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE and India.
I hold an MBA from the Indian School of Business (Class of 2011), where I was elected Director of the Placements Committee, led a 50-member team and received the ISB Young Leader Award (top 3%). I also hold a Wharton Online certificate in HR Management & Analytics. I work fluently in English and Hindi.
