About Neha
An engineer who fell in love with people
I started as an engineer and moved to HR after my MBA, because the hardest problems I saw were about people, not code. Since then I have hired thousands, built three HR teams from scratch and coached more than a hundred managers.
Hire for slope, not intercept
How fast someone learns matters more than where they start.
Managers make the culture
Invest in them first and everything else gets easier.
Data asks, people decide
Numbers start the conversation; they never end it.
What leaders say
