Before joining King & Spalding LLP in June 2021, I was the Payroll Manager for Collibra, Inc. and was responsible for the EMEA and North American Payrolls. I implemented various payroll software across USA, EMEA, & APAC regions. I supported all markets and countries and played a key role in the continued development of the compliance policies and strategies. I also built and maintained relationships with key customers, employees, and management, ensuring flexibility in response to an increasingly demanding marketplace. I have been married to my husband Tushar for 30+ years and we enjoy eating out, travelling, and watching movies.* ***How long have you been involved with PAYO and Local Chapters?*** *![](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-18-2023-01-31-09-0743-PM.png?width=272&height=193&name=image-png-Oct-18-2023-01-31-09-0743-PM.png)I have been a member of PAYO since 2010 and a member of the Greater Atlanta Payroll Association, Inc. (formerly Atlanta Chapter) since January 2011. I passed my CPP exam in 2012, am currently the Chapter President, and have been Hospitality Chair since September 2011. As the Hospitality Chair, I help with events such as the Georgia Statewide, CPP study groups, and National Payroll Week.* ***What goal would you like to achieve as a Regional Advisor?*** *I would like to ensure that I provide as much help and guidance to my region as possible.

We all need a little help to succeed.* ***How do you use social media to help promote and market the chapters in your region? What handles do you use? What is your handle/profile name?*** *To communicate with Region 1 chapter leaders on social media frequently, I use the [Region 1 LinkedIn group](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/5089406/). If you have not already, make sure to join this group to receive frequent updates for Region 1.
