Himal is a wonderful person to work with. I had the pleasure of working alongside him for two years at the London StockExchange Group, collaborating on several project teams. Himal’s ability and his approach to solving problems was unlike any I’ve seen before. He is Reliable, Knowledgeable and very organized in his approach to solving problems. He is extremely enthusiastic about his work which is infectious, makes it fun. He always has a creative, positive outlook and he’s good at organizing and bringing people together. He made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Himal earns my highest recommendation.
