Background
Having spent almost 8 years at the Nielsen Company I had the opportunity to grow in a challenging
marketing research industry, servicing telecommunication companies and internet service providers as
well as Government entities. This opportunity enabled me to multitask, work under pressure and get
exposed to various areas of research that included brand measurement studies, satisfaction as well as
segmentation studies & concept testing.
Moving forward, I am now looking for an opportunity to further bring enthusiasm and expertise to the
forefront of a leading company’s HR team through a challenging role. This would give me the opportunity
to utilize and further develop my knowledge on all aspects of HR & management within a team
framework.
