Managing Director at Binnies

“Raji was Black & Vetch's Regional HR Director for Asia Pacific and the Middle East based out of Singapore.

It was a pleasure working with Raji who brought a new change to how HR functioned and integrated with the business lines. She was very good at her job and worked well with the senior executives. She initiated several

major improvements in the HR functions especially in the areas of talent management and employee engagement…”

Vice President, Tecnimont Milan & Managing Director, TCMPL India

“Raji is a rare HR Director who understands business and then gives an end to end HR support. She is intelligent

and quick on her feet. Raji was a key player working together with me in realizing a very difficult dream In a difficult circumstance – smiling all the way. Asset to have in a team with near impossible goals…”

President & CEO, UIL Holdings

“From the moment I interviewed Raji to join our team, I was impressed with her skill to quickly grasp issues and develop creative

solutions. She did so during the interview and throughout her tenure with IUSA. Raji’s human resources skill set is so broad that I never hesitated to enlist her support when faced with a challenge out side of the HR realm. She always had an idea or offered perspective on the situation to help resolve the issue. Raji was a great colleague and was a joy to work with..”

President and Chief Executive Officer at Duquesne Light Holdings, Inc.

“WOW! What a talented, experienced and effective HR leader. It is hard to limit Raji's area of expertise as she has immense skills in so many areas of the HR landscape. I relied on her advice in many areas outside of Talent Management and Diversity which was her forte, and she never seemed to be outside of her comfort zone. Raji could have easily contributed several levels above the role in which we hired her. Besides being a highly effective leader, she is a pleasure to work with and takes on challenges and organizational change with a can-do spirit that is in infectious. I look forward to working with Raji again in any capacity.”

“Rajeswari (Raji) worked for me in several roles in North America, meriting several promotions over that tenure. I have never met

anybody with Raji's capacity to churn out valuable tools and processes coupled with a fierce interest in pushing forward business performance. Her keystone achievement in Lafarge was her co-leadership of a complex international sourcing/ Talent model where she merited and was awarded Lafarge's top internal HR prize for creativity and collaboration in accelerated global talent deployment. If I were ever in a bind with countless priorities and limited resources, Raji would be amongst my very first picks to tame the storm”

People & Culture

“Able to juggle the work of ten people and willing to commit long hours to a project or initiative, Raji is an intuitive leader with multiple skills and competencies. Her "can do" attitude generates enthusiasm. Always looking for the solution to business challenges, Raji guides us through change management cycles with integrity, interest, and ease”

SVP Global Human Resources

“I had the good fortune to work with Raji, first as her manager and then as a colleague, at Lafarge. Raji brought to us a high level of Talent & OD expertise that was greatly needed and appreciated. She helped support a number of key people development initiatives which supported advancing our cement business strategy”

Managing Director, Beyond Data

“I have had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Raji for 5+ years now. Raji is full of talents - analytical and execution brilliance, superb interpersonal skills and razor-sharp intuition. In addition, Raji's public speaking ability rivals that of the most eloquent and gifted orators anywhere. The one personal quality that puts her in a league of her own amongst other consumate professionals is her ability to reach out and emphatize with her business partners. Her capacity to recognize, and to some extent even share the feelings experienced by others amplifies her operational effectiveness as she is always able to offer compromise solutions to complex problems involving parties with mutually-exclusive interests. Raji and I operate in different functional departments across various time-zones but I always solicit her feedback when I need an unbiased and unprejudiced outside opinion. A true franchise player”

“It was always a pleasure to see Raji in action. She was doing a lot of training work when she worked with Ma Foi and was busy with her assignments throughout the month. Raji used to be highly energetic, very positive and great at time management. No wonder she had her hands full with business most of the time. Her commitment to the job and the organization was an example to her junior colleagues.”

Human Resources Executive - HR | Strategic Change Agent | Talent Acquisition and Management

“While Raji was hired as our Director - Talent Management and Diversity and Inclusion, she quickly elevated this role and the reputation of the Human Resources Department. Her background and experience in change management, organizational design and development, talent management and diversity and inclusion is outstanding. Raji has a uncanny ability to quickly assess a situation and apply structured methods/models to help the business resolve a situation efficiently and effectively. She became a confidant to many senior leaders by providing fruitful advice and guidance to improve their organizations and their executive presence. Likewise, she established the change management model for the business, provided consulting guidance for our internal HR team, developed closer relationships with diverse professional/community organizations and improved our talent management process and outcomes. Raji also has been published on numerous occasions and has been a key speaker at several seminars and conferences. Raji is a strategic, big picture thinker. She is articulate, sharp, progressive, well-read and up-to-date on the latest best practices globally.”

VP Regional HR, Lafarge-Holcim, Eastern Canada

“There are 6 words that describe Raji - tenacious, goal driven, pragmatic and team player. If you want a job done and done well then assign Raji to the project. She is thorough and detailed but does not get bogged down in detail nor derailed by red tape. A true resource for any organisation.”

Principal at Kline Consulting

“Raji is a dedicated and well rounded HR professional who has demonstarted talents in several HR areas, especially in recruitment and talent management. Raji is a good facilitator and team builder with a postive attitude and winning way. I strongly endorse her.”

“Dear Raji,

Yesterday, August 29th was a key milestone in our mentoring journey. We closed our second phase of the LEH Open Mentoring Program earlier this week. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and partnership to make this initiative a big success. Since the start of the program in August 2021, we had over 125 mentees from 25+ countries who benefitted because of your gift of time and commitment to paying forward.

We at LEH are committed to these initiatives which are the foundations on which we built LEH. We had tremendous learnings from this experience on how we can further improve the experience for both mentees and mentors. We have decided to refresh and relaunch the program in January 2023, with a better and more efficient support platform. It will enable us to expand the scope and make the outcomes more efficient.

LEH's Mentoring Program created its impact because of who you are and the choices you made to support those who could benefit from your guidance. Given your capacity and time, I’d request you to register as a mentor for the next version of the program by following this link or directly on our website.

There is a no bigger measure of success than helping others achieve their aspirations and your support will make that happen. If you have any questions, please reach out to Sophia or me.

With deep gratitude”
