Globalization Partners have announced that Richa Gupta as their new chief people officer. This new role will be central to the company’s growth strategy as it continues to expand its strong global team to meet the needs of the trillion dollar-plus remote work industry. Gupta brings over 20 years of robust experience with technology firms, with a focus on managing HR for global, complex organisations that are undergoing growth transformations and defining industries.
“I am thrilled with the addition of Richa to our executive team. She is an inspiring people leader who is passionate about democratising the global workforce,” said Nicole Sahin, Globalization Partners’ CEO and founder. “Richa’s leadership experience in start-ups, and with mature and high-growth tech companies is exactly what we need as we scale our company, and importantly, she brings an incredible skillset that will be a valuable resource to Globalization Partners’ clients that are hiring global remote team members.”
With more than two decades of strategic HR leadership with top global technology companies, Gupta joins Globalization Partners most recently from Castlight Health, Inc., where she served as chief people officer at the company that is positioned as the digital front door to healthcare navigation for employers and health plans. Gupta also served as vice president of Human Resources at PayPal and at GE Digital, where she oversaw HR for their product, technology, platform, commercial, sales, marketing, and support organisations.
“I was a dreamer who came to the U.S. with $4,000 and a suitcase in search of a better life, better job opportunities and more wellness,” Gupta explained. “Globalization Partners brings the dreams to the dreamers, and I knew the company’s mission of democratising access to global opportunities perfectly aligned with my own life purpose and vision. As Chief People Officer of Globalization Partners, I will continue my journey in being a mission-driven, people-first business leader with an HR hat. I look forward to working closely with Nicole and the rest of the executive team to scale the company and the culture as we continue to meet the surging demands of remote work across the globe.”
