Joint Secretary, Executive Committee

Dinesh

Dinesh Angappan is an Agile Coach with 19 years of IT industry experience, known for his expertise in agile and digital transformation and for his coaching and problem-solving. He is currently with a leading global automobile organisation.

Diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes in 2009, Dinesh took up running as a transformative lifestyle change. What began as a casual activity became a passion: more than 20 half marathons with a personal best of 2 hours 2 minutes, several sub-55-minute 10Ks, and consistency in his daily runs and training.

He played a pivotal role in the club's society registration and official establishment. His involvement runs well past administration — he emcees club events, mentors runners in the community, and actively encourages others toward a healthier lifestyle.
