Bio
Travis Howle
Geli is an absolute rockstar at everything that pertains to cross-functional teams and holistic project management. Even beyond the scope of her duties, she makes a point to learn, interact, and surround herself with meaningful and relevant information to provide guidance on the right strategy for solving a multitude of both business and engineering challenges; her ability to colorfully transform complex domain-specific situations into common analogies that accurately depict both the magnitude and finer details is nothing less than impressive. Failing to recognize that Geli is filled with a very diverse set of talents and experiences, is failing to recognize or appreciate the true power of her as an asset, and further, a compassionate and genuinely good person.
Buddhadev C.
As I once put it to a hiring manager who was looking over her resume: Geli isn't just an employee; she's a force of nature. As a manager, Geli is a patient mentor, a big-picture strategist, and a source of empowerment to her reports. Her second-to-none emotional intelligence gives her a unique ability to be engaged and supportive of her reports' needs while still giving them enough autonomy and ownership to grow and excel. As an individual contributor, she's a fusion-powered engine of productivity: learning quickly, producing top-quality deliverables, and improving processes with every project she undertakes. Geli would be an unparalleled value-add to any organization, and I'd enthusiastically welcome the chance to work with her again.
