Vidya Narasimhan
Head of Enterprise Data Support, Asia-Pacific

What I Do:

I lead a high-performing team of enterprise data engineers and am responsible for ensuring the stability of TD's Big Data platform and applications.

Proud Moment:

I am proud of giving my best in every role I take on. I once held a dual role in another organization, and when I let go of one of the two roles, I was replaced with 13 people!

Advice to My Younger Self:

When I was younger, I was afraid to fail and, hence, afraid to dream. I owe much of my career success to bosses who saw in me what I could not see in myself. They nudged a reluctant me into uncharted territory, and they were right to do so because looking back, I never failed, regardless of the size of the goal they set for me. The advice I would give my younger self is to not be afraid of the unknown - the risks are well worth the rewards and the life lessons you'll learn.
