It is my outmost pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for my previous supervisor Gayathri Unnikrishnan. Before having the current position of assistant professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, I worked in the Standard Development team at the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), New York. During this time, I was supervised by and worked alongside Gayathri on a daily basis during approximately 12 months. Therefore, I had many opportunities to witness the quality of the work that she produces. Through numerous professional interactions that we had, Gayathri demonstrated extraordinary leadership skills, commitment, knowledge and effectiveness. I benefited tremendously from working with Gayathri, both professionally and personally, which made me write this letter of recommendation. I have witnessed first-hand her competent technical abilities in the field of light and health, as well as her leadership as the "Concept Lead" within the WELL v2 Standard. I would particularly emphasize her managerial skills, including visionary leadership, team management and interpersonal skills. I have witnessed her superior communication and listening skills, deep knowledge and passion for the subject matter, and the ability to build caring relationships with her colleagues, which is certainly evident from the success of the Standard Development team at IWBI. On the organizational side, Gayathri showed excellent preparation and organization skills, strong work ethic and community-building skills. I clearly recall that she was able to come up with innovative ideas that could solve some of the key organizational barriers that we dealt with. Based upon this, I rate her skills excellent. I am highly confident that with the level of motivation, knowledge and leadership that I know of Gayathri, she will continue her success in her professional career.
