Bio
Ryan Zellner, CDMP, PCM
Although Pratik has been a colleague of mine for a short time, I have come to know an outstanding person who has a real passion and enthusiasm for the industry that shines through. On top of Pratik’s wealth of knowledge and technical experience, I can truly say he is a trustworthy, reliable, adept, and transformative leader who sets a great example for others. I have been impressed from day one with how he carries himself and It has been a great pleasure to work with him. I look forward to witnessing all that he accomplishes now and in the future.
