About Guurpritt
Hi there!
I've spent most of my career in tech and the last 4 years within SaaS start-ups (Seed to Series A). My skillsets straddle both People & Talent and have a background in early careers and L&D as an added bonus! I've worked as both an individual contributor (twice reporting directly to the CEO) as well as managing a team. I feel equally comfortable entering a green-field environment and building from scratch as I do coming into an already fleshed-out team and or process. I believe in creating authentic and trusting relationships with my colleagues and am proud of the long-lasting relationships I have with my ex-colleagues once I have left a role.
I'm passionate about creating cultures where employees are engaged and able to do their best work. I want to work with people that are diverse, work hard and foster a communicative and empathetic workplace environment. I love working within companies creating positive or meaningful change in the world!
I look forward to working with you!
