Bio
Shirish Shah
Rakesh is highly skilled and dedicated professional, I see him as Techno-Functional expert, where he has consistently impressed me with Functional as well as technical expertise in Port and Shipping industries. Rakesh consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, effectively managing cross-functional teams to deliver successful projects on time. Rakesh was always able to find innovative solutions to complex problems, demonstrating a strong ability to work well under pressure and handle multiple projects. Rakesh was also able to effectively communicate functional/process/operations information to technical stakeholders/developers, making him a valuable asset to any team. One of Rakesh’s standout projects was developing and implementing Port Community System for Indian Port Associations, where he played a key role in developing and implementing the solution to 13 major ports of India, many ICD’s and CFS’s. I highly recommend Rakesh for any Project Management and techno-functional role.
