Episode 62: "Happiness in the Small Moments" with Pooja Bansal - Music by Todd Lowry
In the latest episode of The Celebrate Happiness Roadshow podcast , we are speaking with Pooja Bansal. Pooja is the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Human Resources at Jade Global, a global IT consulting and services company headquartered in Silicon Valley. With nearly 22 years of experience across diverse industries and geographies, she has built a reputation for leading large-scale transformation, shaping high-performing cultures, and aligning people strategy with business growth. An alumna of The Wharton School and Harvard Business School, and a Mumbai University rank holder, Pooja brings a unique blend of business acumen, organizational psychology, and global leadership to her work. Having worked extensively with multicultural teams and traveled/lived across countries, including Italy, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and a few others, she is passionate about building inclusive workplaces while navigating diverse leadership styles and cultures. Beyond her professional role, Pooja is deeply curious by nature and considers herself a lifelong learner. She enjoys intellectually stimulating conversations, reading, exploring new ideas, and understanding human behavior. She loves traveling, experiencing different cultures, and learning from people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. A former theatre enthusiast, she believes that leadership is as much about authenticity and communication as it is about strategy and execution. She is particularly passionate about organization diagnostics, culture transformation, employee engagement, leadership development, and creating high-performance organizations where people and business outcomes grow together. Join us for this powerful and uplifting conversation as Pooja names the trap so many of us fall into: a culture that equates busyness with success, rather than having the time to truly enjoy and appreciate life. She shares how she finds happiness in the small moments, the grounding power of open spaces in nature, the power of live theater to connect people in the present moment, building a meaningful life, and so much more.
