Nell Janardhan

Director of Business Operations and Finance

Problem-solving is Nell Janardhan’s (not-so) secret talent. In her role overseeing Aha Media Group’s finance, human resources and business operations, she leverages her solution-oriented skills every day. “Taking a problem, breaking it down into achievable pieces, following up to make sure we get to the solution — that’s what gets my juices flowing,” she says. “I love this role because I’m constantly learning something new.”

Nell has more than 18 years of experience in strategy, finance and technology. She started her career in engineering and software planning, honing a meticulous, precise approach that she regularly applies at Aha Media. She oversees finance and business operations, helping the company stay on track with day-to-day processes and big-picture strategic and operational planning. She also oversees technology operations, identifying and implementing new products that allow Aha Media to stay efficient and effective.

Nell has a bachelor’s in engineering and an MBA from the University of Maryland, College Park. She volunteers for her local school district, serving as PTA president and helping with the school band. A former running enthusiast, Nell put a pause on racing while her 2 sons were younger. Now, she’s preparing to dive back in with plans to train for a mini triathlon. She lives in Virginia, where she loves to catch up with friends over the weekend and dinners out with her husband and kids.
