Overview
Prajeetha led People Operations across APJ at ThoughtSpot before moving into a global R&D business partnership role. The progression shows regional operating breadth and direct partnership with a technical organization.
The Story
Prajeetha joined ThoughtSpot as Director of People Operations for APJ. Her remit centered on building people programs and organizational capabilities while supporting a strong workplace and high-performance culture.
The regional role required her to connect people operations with the needs of a growing technology company across APJ. She worked across programs, workplace priorities, and leadership partnership rather than treating operations as a standalone service.
She then moved into the Director HRBP role for Global R&D. The transition expanded her scope from regional people operations to partnership with a global technical organization.
Across the two roles, she brought together operational systems, organizational context, and business partnership. The record establishes the progression clearly, while program-level outcomes need further detail.
