Bio
Sekhar Kadiyala
I have worked with Kanthi for about 3 years and I found her to be an excellent project manager. She has got all the skills that a senior PM should have to drive large and complex programs or projects. She is a versatile project manager with experience in Tech projects, non-tech projects, transition projects and business analysis. Shas possess strong understanding of project methodologies and project compliance. Her experience of working with global teams combined with disciplined and systematic approach makes her a perfect asset for any project. She is not afraid of asking tough questions or initiate a tough conversation with senior executives. She drives the projects well and doesn’t hesitate to pull up names when she doesn’t see progress. A great asset to any PMO team!

I had the great fortune of working with Kanthi to expand our servicing team and process to the Hyderabad location. I was so impressed with Kanthi’s strategic vision and ability to execute on that vision. Her work ethic, follow-up, and commitment were critical to the success of the project. On a personal note, I have always been impressed with Kanthi’s optimism and positive outlook. In any project, unforeseen challenges pop up and you need a partner that has an optimistic view that the team can overcome the challenges. When challenges in this particular project arose, I knew I had a true partner that shared the same vision and would help the team press forward for a solution.
