She brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles as Chief People Officer at RingCentral and Chief HR Officer at RELX Group. Gunjan has a track record of driving innovation and fostering a diverse and inclusive culture across organizations.

“We are excited to welcome Gunjan to Kong’s executive leadership team,” said Augusto Marietti, CEO and Co-Founder of Kong Inc. “Her extensive experience with public companies and expertise in HR will be invaluable as we scale our operations and continue to build a culture that empowers our employees to grow personally and professionally.

Moreover, Hiroki Ariizumi was announced earlier this month as the first General Manager of Kong Japan, another key hire supporting the company’s international growth plan. These additions to the executive team underscore Kong’s commitment to enhancing its organizational sales capabilities and delivering exceptional customer and employee experiences.

Gunjan holds a BS in Electronics & Communications from Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. She earned an MBA in HR from XLRI in Jamshedpur, where she was the valedictorian for two consecutive years and won the Citibank Leadership Award. Additionally, she completed several HR management courses at Harvard University.

Gunjan Aggarwal is known for her ability to develop high-performing teams and implement strategies that drive organizational success. She has also served on advisory boards for CanGrade and Rubia in the past, contributing her insights to support innovation in HR and non-profit initiatives.
