Kris has the unique ability to create and drive leadership & people development in order to support critical business initiatives. I saw this when we collaborated on a large-scale global leadership development series & event designed to drive alignment around a mission-critical strategic transformation initiative. I recommend Kris as a strong HR leader who understands how to pull people and strategy together with tangible results.

Sunitha K.

Kris is one of the finest HR leaders that I have worked with. His deep expertise of end to end processes and the tenacious approach to have these perfected won my admiration. At Astreya, he set up the global HR strategy focusing on business growth that included programs like Global Compensation, Benefits, and Career Development initiatives which led to overall improved employee engagement. His solid understanding of business and numbers enabled him to provide great ideas towards successful implementation. He is highly respected by one and all in the organization. He is an optimist at heart & a great communicator. I distinctly remember the meeting where he broke down a complex compensation policy and explained in laymen's terms for the whole group. Personally, I have learnt working alongside Kris & he is truly a great business partner!
