Bio
Gary Wagner, PMI-PMP, PMI-ACP, Prosci CCP
Ankita and I worked together for three years during the merger and acquisition by Bally’s Interactive of Bet.Works and the expanding global Product Development integration of three business units in regulated Sports Gaming. During this time we increased the number of software development teams working as a scaled agile Program, drawing on our earlier success in evolving Product Management team and role based practices to deliver increasingly complicated roadmapped features. Ankita’s Product leadership was key in Bally’s delivering MVP rollout in 2 key regulated US States. I highly recommend Ankita to any organization seeking an empathetic Product Leader who is adept at balancing the need for results with people centricity which earns genuine trust and respect.

I have had the pleasure working with Ankita just shy of a decade. She is one of the most talented and amazing people due to her exceptional skills in product ownership, leadership, and technical abilities. As a Director of Product Ownership, Ankita directed her team and ensured the delivery of multi key features for our products, by collaborating with many other teams located all around the world. Ankita was instrumental in ensuring that our features were well defined, accurate and delivered in a timely manner. Ankita has many exceptional qualities, such as being able to quickly understand complex systems, identify improvements and flaws, articulate new features, troubleshoot any issues, and manage her team and others. With such qualities, there is nothing Ankita cannot accomplish. Moreover, Ankita presents such a wonderful aura regarding work and life that everyone gravitates towards her. As such, anyone that works with Ankita is always happy and learns so much from her. In summary, I passionately recommend Ankita for the position of Director of Product Ownership. Ankita brings with her a wealth of experience in all areas such as exceptional management skills, critical thinking and analysis and a strong commitment to product ownership. I have no doubt that Ankita will make an immense impact in any organization, where she will contribute quickly and passionately.
