Vanita Shukla Hork, CIA's Linkedin Analytics

I am passionate about people and creating great results through collaboration, motivation and positive influence. I try to inspire others and encourage them to be their best and to do their best for a greater good, in a happy and supportive environment. I believe in the power of value-based and authentic leadership. I have more than 30 years of demonstrated success in delivering strategically important projects and change initiatives at Nordea in immensely diverse work environments such as Marketing, HR, IT, Risk and Internal Audit. Since December 2016 I have been responsible for Learning & Development, Marketing and Communications in Group Internal Audit at Nordea, when this position was created. Today it addresses the LDM&C needs of a department of more than 220 internal auditors across several countries, including the Nordics and Poland. This requires, amongst other things, strong organisational, networking and communication skills, not least in a virtual environment. I have built up the LDM&C function from scratch, bringing it in line with our banking peers and becoming best in class at Nordea, by leveraging strong project management, leadership and people skills, as well as the broad experience I have developed throughout my career. Our branding of the Internal Audit function has also inspired large European peers. I have extensive experience of leading virtual teams and working cross-border in a large, multi-cultural financial institution with 30,000 employees. I am proud to be an active and passionate contributor to Nordea’s journey since the merger in 2000. I fully espouse our values of courage, passion, ownership and collaboration. Since January 2022 I also have the role of secretary of Nordea's newly established local D&I Council in Denmark.
