Saloni Kumar

Saloni leads People & Culture at GAIN Conversion, a global digital marketing agency, partnering with leadership to shape the strategy driving teams across North America and EMEA, work that sits at the intersection of culture and business performance, ensuring neither is compromised for the other.

Over 18 years in the field, a decade at Tata Group across a 10,000 person division, then at Airbnb working with teams across Dublin, Montreal, San Francisco, Singapore, and India, she has learned that the best people practices are the ones people actually use: simple, clear, and built around how the business really operates, not how a policy document says it should.

Her focus spans the full people lifecycle, employee experience, performance development, talent acquisition, compensation design, and succession planning. It all comes down to one thing: building cultures that retain people who have options.
