Sakaanna Thanikasegaran

I have always been passionate about improving workplace environments as I believe the foundation of any organization is their employees. Given that people spend most of their day at work, it is important to care about their wellbeing and sustain a healthy culture. If this can be accomplished, employees will be equipped with the tools to thrive and reach their full potential - a favourable outcome for everyone. I feel honoured to work for Radiant as I can make a difference revitalizing the culture and leadership within organizations every single day!

Sakaanna attended McMaster University where she completed her honours degree in economics and a minor in sustainability.

Sakaanna’s commitment to these initiatives refined her leadership skills and sparked a passion for always finding purpose in her work.
