Sudhakar Chakka

I had the opportunity to work with Ashok very closely for the past 3 years at UOP. Ashok has highly developed Business sense with out-of-the-box thinking and foresight, always with the big picture in mind while developing new ideas or while addressing short-term technical and business issues. He is a team player with very strong Leadership skills, highly motivated, focused, and success-driven. Ashok has the unique ability to develop new business areas from scratch and make them flourish as he had demonstrated at UOP. Ashok’s chemical plant and refinery work experience combined with his strong technical and business development skills and knowledge makes him an asset to any organization. I have no hesitation in stating that Ashok will be very successful in any leadership position.
