Operating Model & Organization Design Partner

Most Global Capability Centers (GCCs) scale the headcount. Not all of them scale the organization.

I work with GCC leaders to build the structural foundation that lets the organization keep pace with growth — before the gaps start affecting delivery.

The signals

They are usually already visible. They rarely resolve on their own.

Decisions that should happen locally are consistently escalating to global. Nobody designed it that way — the structure produces it.

Strong people are leaving. Not dramatically — one or two at a time, quietly. The exit interviews are not telling you the full story.

Your managers are capable. The structure they are operating in was not designed for where the organization is now.

Delivery is still happening. But it depends on specific individuals working harder than the design should require.

The operating model that worked at 300 people is being asked to run an organization two or three times that size.

Background

The work is different when you have been accountable for it.

I was part of the founding leadership team that built the India GCC of a USD 125 billion company from the first hire to over 2,500 employees across technology, analytics, finance, and corporate functions. The build was the straightforward part. The harder phase was when the organization began to outgrow the structure that had enabled it — spans straining, leadership gaps surfacing in delivery roles, decisions slowing. I was accountable for resolving it, not advising on it from the outside.

Before that, I led workforce integration and organization redesign through a major global technology acquisition — retaining 100% of identified critical talent during a period of maximum organizational uncertainty. I have held senior HR leadership roles across India, APAC, China, and Argentina. The structural cost reduction that disciplined redesign can deliver is significant — and in my experience, achievable without capability or engagement loss.

I am a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. Strengths science informs how I approach leadership design and capability development at every tier of the GCC structure.
