GIM Goa Alumnus is part of the leadership team at IKEA Group USA. An alumnus of GIM’s batch of 1998, Shilpa Gulati is the Country HR Operations Manager for IKEA in the U.S. Shilpa was the CFO, IKEA, a position she voluntarily re-linquished in the best interest of the organisation. In 2012, Shilpa was the deputy manager of one of the largest IKEA stores in the U.S. when she was first diagnosed with cancer. Right through those 18-months of chemotherapy, Shilpa never stopped, juggling family, chemotherapy and her job at IKEA. By mid-2014, she took over as the store manager, and that financial year rang in an annual revenue of a whopping $100 million. Soon she received the call she’d been waiting for ever since she walked into IKEA as an intern 15 years back. “The CEO of IKEA, USA, wanted a CFO who would do good for the company in the long run and not just the short term.” In September 2015, at the age of 41, Shilpa Gulati took over as the first woman CFO in the history of IKEA. She was also the first Indian in that position. The announcement was made almost 3 years after she was detected with cancer. Barely a couple of months in the elevated chair of the CFO of IKEA, Shilpa was informed that despite everything, the cancer had gnawed its way to her brain. Despite two brain surgeries, Shilpa Gulati was back to work in a few weeks. But by then, she had begun to realise that she’d have to make a very tough decision. In June 2016, Shilpa Gulati stepped down as the CFO for IKEA U.S. She took the position of Vice President-People Operations at IKEA Group USA. Read more on LinkedIn
