About Shelly Gupta

Shelly Gupta is an experienced business leader and board director with a career spanning finance, technology, education, and corporate governance. At Teleperformance, she serves as an independent director, a role approved at the company’s combined general meeting on April 14, 2022. Her appointment was explicitly framed as a way to strengthen the board’s diversity in terms of experience, expertise, and nationality, reflecting Teleperformance’s focus on governance quality and broader stakeholder expectations. She also contributes to board committee work, giving her exposure to oversight, compliance, and non-financial responsibility topics at a global scale. Shelly Gupta holds an Integrated Master of Science degree in Mathematics and Computer Applications from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, a background that combines analytical rigor with technical fluency. She began her career at Thaumaturgix, a software consulting firm, and later joined Standard & Poor’s as a Senior Consultant in the Risk Solutions group. Those early roles gave her strong expertise in risk analysis, decision support, and the practical application of quantitative methods in complex business settings. She later broadened her professional path by moving into entrepreneurship and mission-driven leadership. In 2007, she became a founding partner of TutorAndMentor.com, an educational services company focused on using technology to make supplemental learning more affordable and accessible for K-12 students in the US and UK. She subsequently served as strategic Chief Financial Officer of The Equity Project Charter Schools in New York City, where she contributed to a school organization serving students from underserved communities and helped build the institution from the ground up. In parallel, Gupta has also supported social impact initiatives. As a volunteer CFO, she worked with GetMAGIC, a nonprofit organization that provides one-on-one mentoring to middle and high school girls and encourages them to pursue STEM careers. This mix of financial leadership, operational discipline, entrepreneurial experience, and social commitment makes her a well-rounded independent director. For a multinational listed company such as Teleperformance, her profile adds value on strategy, governance, risk oversight, and long-term sustainable performance.
