Leadership

The people running the firm.

The operators who run the firm day to day. A founding bet that workforce solutions could be run with more discipline and more inclusion than the industry expected.

Co-Founder

Jennifer D'Silva

President & Co-Founder

Jen co-founded Thunderhawk on a conviction: workforce programs work best when clients and their people both thrive. Twenty-five years building commercial teams in workforce solutions makes her a leading voice on enterprise workforce strategy and the operating discipline that separates Tier 1 partners.

She owns Thunderhawk's client strategy and its people-first, inclusive culture, shaped by years spent in rooms where women were the leadership minority. Jen holds a BS from NMIMS Mumbai and completed Cornell's Executive Women in Leadership program. She lives in Mahwah, New Jersey.

Saurabh Pathak
Co-Founder

Saurabh Pathak

Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder

Saurabh co-founded Thunderhawk to prove a mid-sized firm could deliver enterprise-scale workforce solutions with operating rigor and consultant care the bigger names had stopped investing in. Twenty-five years running global delivery taught him where the system breaks, and how to build one that doesn't.

At Thunderhawk he owns strategy, operating discipline, and the US + India dual-shore delivery engine that pairs senior partners with 24-hour surge capacity. Saurabh holds an MBA from Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business and lives in the Atlanta area.
