Bio
Nicolai Lindholm
I've had the privilege of working with Amit during his time in Accenture. In brief, Amit is very proactive and highly determined professional with a lot of drive and can-do attitude. During the time working together, Amit was taking over a complex application support ownership and driving transition activities with the client. He was assisting to recruit and stand up an offshore team during the same time. He reported directly to me. Despite tight time-lines, and getting a new offshore team up to speed, Amit successfully took responsibility upon himself and executed the transition with great confidence. This included connecting with various stakeholders in record time and working as one team with the client. Amit controlled and planned all activities within his area. The client was very impressed by Amit's quick learnings and the detail he picked up in record time. Moreover, Amit had a very open and honest relationship with myself and brought up any escalations when required, and kept me updated in terms of progress. Amit is a strong driver and I would not hesitate to work with again. When he commits to something he gives it his full attention.
