Morgan Held
I have had the pleasure of working with Ankush on a closely collaborative cross-functional team that required commitment, risk-taking and learning on the fly. During my time working with Ankush, I have found him to be highly competent and strive for excellence in everything he does. Ankush has been an asset to our team by pushing myself and others to think outside of the status quo and their own biases to drive towards the best solution for a problem. In addition to encouraging others to broaden their own perspectives, Ankush is dedicated to growing his own skills and viewpoints. Continuous improvement and growth is his modus operandi. Ankush is a highly ethical professional who believes in the heart and soul of the work he does. He strives to thoughtfully do the right things the right way in order to impact not only the organization but the global community. He has the unique ability to pay attention to the minute detail of a project while simultaneously maintaining the broader long-term vision of the whole. As a collegue, I trust his judgement, pragmatism and sound advice. I have seen him be an asset to every team he works on. Ankush has helped me grow professionally as a peer and I have enjoyed working with him tremendously.

It was truly a pleasure teaming up with Ankush for the MIT Hacking Racism in Healthcare hackathon. He is a visionary who came up with innovative ideas and solutions, to mitigate the challenges of the lack of racial diversity in clinical research and trials. Ankush is caring with a deep and complex understanding of business models and functions, and is very methodical in his approach. He is also a magnificent team player and communicator! In the span of 48 hours, he was capable of orchestrating our team’s vision from top to bottom, performing under high pressure with ease. I am honored to know him. With great confidence, I’m certain Ankush will do excellent in all of his business endeavors and will materialize his innovative visions. I look forward to working with him again!
