Daniel Gross
I am delighted to recommend Aishwarya Ashokan for any endeavor she pursues. In spring 2023, our firm collaborated with the University of Wisconsin Madison's School of Business to recruit an intern team for our Data Analytics projects. Aishwarya was among the interns who joined us, and she left a lasting impression on all of us. Throughout the project, Aishwarya stood out as a confident and positive individual, always wearing a bright smile that matched her engaging personality. She took on the role of the group's spokesperson and effectively communicated the team's weekly progress. Her determination to obtain missing information was commendable, as it allowed the team to complete their work more efficiently. Aishwarya not only grasped the problem at hand but also excelled in articulating effective solutions, making her a rare find. Navigating complex and unstructured business challenges can be daunting, but Aishwarya tackled them with ease, consistently coming up with innovative solutions. One of her key contributions was redefining our client engagement strategy by utilizing customer value metrics, resulting in optimized effort allocation based on customer value. She played a crucial role in transforming our data into actionable insights by skillfully cleaning, aggregating, and joining various data sets. The business insights she derived pinpointed growth opportunities and areas for improvement. What made working with Aishwarya even more enjoyable was her ability to bridge cultural differences and create a harmonious environment for our international team. She gracefully navigated challenges related to language, culture, and other human aspects, ensuring a positive and refreshing experience for everyone involved. In conclusion, Aishwarya's leadership, exceptional presentation skills, and proficiency in tackling both data and human challenges have been invaluable to our organization. She has added significant value to our project and our company as a whole. I wholeheartedly endorse Aishwarya Ashokan and have no doubt that she will continue to excel and make a remarkable impact wherever she goes.

She possesses a keen eye for detail, always ensuring the accuracy and reliability of our findings, which was crucial for the success of our project. Aishwarya's creativity in tackling challenges was truly commendable. Whenever we encountered obstacles, she approached them with innovative and fresh perspectives, leading to unique solutions that significantly improved our analysis. Not only is she talented, but she is also incredibly hardworking and diligent. She consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, going above and beyond to deliver high-quality results in a timely manner. Aishwarya maintains an unwaveringly positive attitude, even when faced with challenging situations. Her optimism and enthusiasm were infectious, creating a motivating and fun working environment for everyone involved. I recommend Aishwarya for any analytical role within the hospitality industry or any other domain that values a blend of analytical acumen, creativity, diligence, and a great work ethic. She is an asset to any team and has the potential to make significant contributions wherever she goes. I am confident that she will continue to excel and achieve great success in her future endeavors.
