Be it at her very first job at Nocil, her engagement as an expatriate in the Phillipines, or in her multidisciplinary roles at Monsanto, India, each offered Aparna the scope to test her acumen in handling local and global business challenges.
All through her stints with Novartis Healthcare Private Ltd, with UCB India, a Belgium- based pharmaceutical company, or her current role as Country HR Head at Lafarge India, Aparna has stayed cued into country- specific corporate cultures and business nuances to steer people power and underlying sub-cultures that impact growth and development. “If you notice, I have been engaged with companies that directly impact people, be it in healthcare or biotechnology,” says Aparna.
An informal chat with Corporate Citizen reveals Aparna Sharma’s ‘go-getter’ appeal, her penchant for ‘making an impact’ via talent management and her need to ‘make a difference’ socially by pledging time and companionship for the less fortunate amongst us.
