– Tell us about your role. What does a day in your life at Capgemini look like?

I am in the Financial Services Insights and Data practice in North America and head the Horizontal Solutions, AI and Analytics area. In my current role, I am engaged in growing our practice by building solutions, collaborating with internal and external partners, talent management, sales, and delivery at multiple insurance and banking clients. Since my role encompasses multiple responsibilities, it makes my every day in Capgemini fun, varied and interesting.

– What’s the best thing about working at Capgemini?

Capgemini has an entrepreneurial culture and encourages people to come up with new ideas and implement them. In my personal experience, I have taken one of the capabilities from inception to matured state through collaboration, inspiring people, and driving efficiencies through tools and accelerators.  

I champion for diversity and inclusion through the Women Leaders Roundtable group, which supports and empowers women within Capgemini. I have led multiple meditation workshops for Capgemini, Positive Planet to promote well-being within the community

– What makes you proud to work at Capgemini?

I am proud of Capgemini’s culture, which has strong foundations for a diverse and inclusive environment. As a company, there is a great focus on promoting environmental sustainability and digital inclusion through operations and solutions. The culture and values that Capgemini promotes align well with me on a personal and professional level. 

– How are you working towards the future you want?

As a leader, I strive to deliver outsized business outcomes through continuous improvement and learning. In the last few years, some of the priorities of the clients and the business landscape have changed due to the global pandemic and other macro-economic factors. To be successful, I am annually evaluating the offerings and solutions for my area to check if they address the evolving business landscape, upskilling in both technical and non-technical areas and motivating my team to do the same.

– What advice would you give to someone joining Capgemini?

My advice to someone joining Capgemini would be to take charge of their own career and not be afraid to get out of their comfort zone by putting their hand up to accept a challenging role or leading a difficult project. Additionally, they should work on continuous upskilling, keeping an open mind, adapting to changes, focus on expanding their network, and collaborating.
