About Me

Neeta Sharma - Born 1981 (Libra)

Birth Place: Toronto, ON

Place of Residence: London, UK (since 2015)

Professional Career

14 years with Fortune 500 companies.
6 years with tech start-ups.
Described as a dedicated, resourceful and hardworking professional who cares about making an impact.

Random Stuff

Since age 5, every year my parents saved so we (as a family) could attend a 1 week yoga/meditation camp.

I love retail: I started off working in an ice cream store and spent almost 10 years at a record store.

My side-hustle: In my 20’s, I arranged a speed dating event which transformed into wedding planning (over 100 weddings). I love producing events.

I’ve had 2 significant physical traumas; these were a catalyst in me starting Grounded 1002

Quick-fire Q&A courtesy of WordUp Communications:

Q: Favorite companies you’ve worked for/with?

CPPIB, CIBC, BCG, and Instanda. Although I prefer smaller work environments, the large companies offer fantastic foundational skills through the formal L&D programs. Having access to training and mentors is definitely a benefit I really value.
