John Chacko
Head – Human Resources
“I would love to create a workplace where associates look forward to coming to work every day”, is how John summarizes his approach to people management. John epitomizes energy, discipline and passion and is an ardent advocate of ‘value based leadership’.
Graduating in Commerce from Delhi University, John began his career in the hospitality and aviation sector. Reminiscing about his early years, John says, “I had the good fortune very early in my career to work with best-in-class companies like PANAM, Maurya Sheraton, Delta Airlines, GE and FADV. These assignments played a large role in fine tuning my people management skills.” Leveraging his rich experience of over 28 years, John constantly endeavors to strengthen Mahindra Satyam BPO’s position as a responsive and customer-centric organization.
John brings to the table an acute understanding of operations and business strategy. “Lean, agile and profitable” is his success mantra for organizations.
Challenges excite John. His foray into Human Resources started while still in operations at GE, where he was called upon to assist the hiring team. “Since then, there has been no looking back,” says John with a smile. At Mahindra Satyam BPO, John handled multiple responsibilities, leading up to his appointment as the Head of Human Resources. With the range of initiatives he has kicked off at Mahindra Satyam BPO, John is fast acquiring the title of “Mr.Fix It”– someone who can be counted on to get things done against all odds.
“We have a very closely knit family” is what John says as he talks about his wife Irene, son Adrian and daughter Andrea, both pursing their college and schooling respectively. During his spare time, John is as busy donning the chef’s hat as he is going on long drives with country music on. John loves the countryside and never misses an opportunity to go fishing or hiking.
