Heeru is currently the CHRO and CFO and will continue to report to Dentsu Aegis Network India CEO, Anand Bhadkamkar. 
 
She said “I am truly honoured to lead WATConsult. I am looking forward to work closely with our exceptional senior leadership team, along with Rajiv, our chief mentor and advisor. Together, we will capture the next waves of growth for WATConsult by remaining laser-focused on serving our clients, delivering long term growth and value creation, and providing the best career experiences for our people.”
