Bio
Lydia Cannon
Manali is a wonderful HRBP professional. She is smart, dedicated and creative. A proactive problem solver who genuinely cares for the organization. She handles conflict and tough conversations with professionalism, tact and grace. Manali is always willing to step in and help teammates and leads at any time. She brings humor and levity to situations which has a wonderful calming effect. I truly enjoyed working with Manali and would love it if our paths crossed again in the future.
Sarah Zeller
Manali is a steady, strong contributor and teammate. I could always count on her for support and sound business advice. She was a highly regarded resource for her client groups, consistently jumped into action with proactive solutions, and was willing to roll up her sleeves and carry heavy loads. She will be an incredible addition to any team she joins and I will miss her partnership, enthusiasm, and energy.
