Surekha is passionate about developing the next generation of leaders. At Nurole, she partners with FTSE 350 and enterprise companies to inspire emerging leaders, develop the aspirational, and place the ready.
That passion is grounded in over 20 years spent building commercial partnerships and leading new business at some of the world's biggest brands, including senior roles at Discovery and Snap Inc, where she built strategic relationships with global names such as Apple, Amazon and Google.
