Bio
Janardhan Ketepalle, PMP
I worked with Andrea as Project Manager for the project where I was the solution architect and technical lead. Andrea is an excellent project manager who keeps track project plan up to date, sending reminders to team if their tasks are getting due, escalating issues promptly to leadership and my self. She has current status of project at any point of time. Due to her I was able to focus on solutions and provide best possible solution to our clients. Her documenting skills are amazing, I can relay on any of her meeting notes to determine discussions happened in detail and decisions taken. She takes pride on her work. I would love to work with in any of my future projects and I recommend her to any project if the project needs to be successful.

Andrea worked with me as a Project Manager at Convergys. I highly recommend her, as she is an excellent PM and a pleasure to work with as well. Andrea understood the technical aspects of project management and kept her projects on track, no matter the complexity. She was great at developing and managing relationships with clients. She worked effectively with her internal teams. She also always had a positive attitude and I enjoyed working with her. In summary, Andrea would be a great hire for any company.
