The company appointed Dipti Bhatia as Finance Director, Sourabh Sharma as Director of Media Products, and Sai Prakash Dilipkumar as Director of Technology and Operations.
“When the lockdown was announced, overnight dunnhumby enabled 100% of its workforce to operate from home. In recent weeks, over 70 people, including the three leaders, have joined the company’s India arm remotely via online onboarding tools,” dunnhumby said in its press statement.
“The impressive experience and skills Dipti, Sourabh, and Sai bring to table will help us accelerate our journey to establish India as the engine powering dunnhumby’s growth. It’s not easy to join a company and lead a new team virtually, but the way they have settled in is amazing. It’s a new world!,” said Manoj Madhusudanan, Head of dunnhumby India.
With more than 22 years of success as a senior finance leader, Dipti Bhatia joins the company in a strategic role as Finance Director. Prior to joining dunnhumby, Dipti served multiple leadership roles at Philips, SC Johnson, Agilent Technologies, and Honeywell.
Commenting on the appointment, Dipti said, “Although significantly divergent from the traditional in-person onboarding process, the virtual onboarding at dunnhumby has been one of the best onboarding experiences I’ve had so far. Extensive pre-joining interaction and use of onboarding tools made me feel I was an integral part of dunnhumby family weeks before the actual joining date.”
“Proactive communication from all stakeholders allayed apprehensions around ‘working effectively’, while being remote in a totally new organisation. To say the least, my experience of joining dunnhumby during this unprecedented time has been pleasantly unique,” adds Sourabh Sharma, who joins dunnhumby India as Director of Media Products.
Sourabh has over 16 years of well-rounded experience across product management, consulting, and technology. An IIM Lucknow alumnus, Sourabh served at Droom.in, Aeris Communications, NTT Data, and Infosys Technologies prior to joining dunnhumby.
