Earlier in his career, Mr. Mutsuddi honed his talents in HR leadership at three multinational academy companies. As Senior Manager of HR with The Coca-Cola Company in India, he demonstrated an innate ability to rapidly scale an organization from 200 to 12,000 employees while integrating multiple bottling companies.
