Before working at DataLink, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?
Before joining DataLink, I spent nearly a decade in the U.S. healthcare sector, working on EHRs, care coordination, population health and a few other products. Following that, I took a significant detour into a family-owned food business. This experience was quite different from my healthcare background, offering me insights into the dynamics of a small business, including customer relations, inventory management, and day-to-day operational challenges. The transition from high-tech healthcare solutions to the food industry broadened my perspective, enhancing my adaptability and problem-solving skills.
How did you first learn about DataLink
I first learned about the company when a former connection reached out to me on LinkedIn. They highlighted the company’s exciting opportunities and vision, which captured my interest, and I chose to explore the role and see how it aligns with my professional goals and interests.
Tell us about your favorite travel spot and why you like to go there
One of my favorite travel spots is the national parks in India. The experience of going on a safari and photographing the diverse flora and fauna is both thrilling and rewarding. These parks offer a perfect blend of adventure and serenity, making each visit a memorable exploration of nature’s wonders.
If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see cast as you?
Wow, the thought of a movie being made about my life feels incredible! If I had to choose an actor, I’d go with Keanu Reeves. His reputation for being incredibly down-to-earth and humble aligns well with the values I hold.
