Kripa Ramachandran

I am an organisational person, with over a decade's experience across government, non-government and private sector organisations. I am driven as much by big ideas, as much as by finer details. I have the excitement of a fox and develop competence like a hedgehog. I am Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Perceiving (ENTP) personality type which helps me see patterns and connections not obvious to others and helps me bring together inter-organisational thinking, strategy and cooperation.
