recommendations

It takes me time to find the right words for a recommendation. A recommendation for me is not just good words, but something I have believed and seen in action about the person I am writing for. I am a miser when it comes to writing good feedback, and often ignore most requests for recommending someones work. However, there are few people who really deserve due endorsement and I just thought of sharing feedback on few good professionals:

Aishwarya Kumaresh
"I had the privilege of working with Aishwarya and found her to be an excellent BD professional. She never lost focus on client relationship. In my 13 years of career she's been the only business development professional I have interacted with, who bothered to constantly keep in touch with the client and the dev team; apprising and updating each of any changes/issues faced.

She used to keep herself updated on the development progress, and at times provided valuable inputs on how best the dev team could meet the client's expectations. With her value-add suggestions, the dev team never considered her inputs as intrusion into their domain. She had set a good example of team interdependence.

Few things that I observed about her were:
-awareness and interest in the progress of the project-high sense of ownership
-setting and meeting expectations - clients/dev team
-highlighting an issue of importance, and coming up with solutions.

Besides being a hardcore BD professional, she has a charming and friendly nature."

Lata Kirtivasan
"Lata and I worked together on some 38 projects. Lata's professionalism is par excellence. As an Analyst, she handled reviews of Technical and Non-Technical subjects with dexterity. In addition to being a good ID, she also proved to be a great mentor and coach. She was handling reviews of some 7 IDs who were working on their first ID projects - almost freshers in the industry.
Her contribution to the projects was not restricted to review and coaching. In times of crisis, she was able to provide workable solutions using her past project management skills.
Lata is also a patient yet firm task master. While most people/teams struggled with authors and author-related issues, she managed to get work done on time by the different SMEs her team was working with.

She has a sharp mind, great deal of maturity, and very good sense of humor, which I guess is the reason for her success as a professional - and her indomitable determination to get things done is commendable.

It has been a pleasure working and learning from her."

Amit Pal
"Amit is a focused and hard working person. Someone who knows his job well, and leaves no stone unturned in order to meet the set expectations. He is a perfect example of someone who believes in ensuring customer delight. On umpteen occasions, he not only resolved technical issues related to his work on the projects, on which we worked together, but also took responsibility of taking care of ancillary issues and tasks which actually was IDs responsibility. He is an asset to any process/project/team he is aligned with."

Bhawna Gulati
"Bhawna is a thorough professional and comes across as a person who likes to work with challenges. She's dedicated to her work and does quite well in coming up with a 'wow' deliverable. Always keen to learn new things, she can be relied upon as one of the best person to work diligently even under pressure. It has been a sheer pleasure to work with her."

I would definitely like to work with them, and with all those who have a positive attitude like them.
