Won the Innovation Excellence Award 2013, and the AMEA PwP Sustained Performance Award I love driving change - be it shaping consumer behaviour, bringing in new ways of thinking, or new paradigms for processes or change to flourish. I prefer an outgoing approach combined with creative insight. I am an intelligent thinker, but take more pride in being a strong, determined, hard-nosed doer. I work best with people, am not so much a lone thinker. I prefer to even think aloud and arrive at the best decisions through discussion. I thrive in teams. I am a more gut driven person - but equally love playing with data. I know I have the ability to process data very quickly and arrive at the right decision that ‘feels’ right. Am hence quick at decision making, follow through with great resolve and drive the team towards an aligned game plan. I am also a single mom, I love painting and sculpture, and hope to get back to theater in some small way sometime in the future. I have so far had very fulfilling and colorful 20 years of work experience. I’ve worked on the best of global brands, managed cross cultural teams, managed complex launches, developed innovation mixes for different markets – most importantly, created and nurtured consumer love.
