If you are looking to work with someone who can help you push through your limits, Mathana is that person. Since I have collaborated so closely with Mathana during my Internship at Ford, he has been a crucial part of my career development. He positively influenced my career trajectory and helped me build confidence. He was there for me at every turn, willing to assist whenever I needed it. His business savvy is properly balanced by a sense of empathy and understanding. I thank Mathana for his guidance, and anyone would be lucky to work with him.
