Bio
Pratik Kadam
I had the pleasure of working with Dhruv during my tenure at Sportz Interactive and can confidently recommend him for any role in business development. Dhruv is an asset to any team, with a proven track record of researching new markets, conducting business meetings with potential clients, and managing sales contracts with clients and vendors. He is also a natural leader, excels at client relationship management, and is dedicated to training junior team members. Not only is Dhruv a skilled professional, but he is also an approachable, honest and kind person. His positive attitude and strong work ethic make him a pleasure to work with. I have no doubt that he will continue to excel in any business development role he takes on and will be an asset to any organization. I highly recommend Dhruv.
