Prior to joining the company, she was heading the Bayer’s Shared Services Center in Bengaluru and was a member of their South Asia country leadership team. Rao has extensive expertise in finance, operations, knowledge management, and talent development and has previously worked with Monsanto Holdings Pvt. Ltd., Tesco HSC, and Hewlett Packard.

I am looking forward to working with colleagues and the organization to drive our strategic, people and culture priorities while continuing to position CBS as a Great Place to Work,” said Rao.
