Bio
Keerthi Reddy
I had pleasure working with Jay and his team. He makes it a point that everybody understands why a requirement is requested and how much value it adds to the organization, before start working on it. He really understands how to get the best out of people and builds the best team. One of the best qualities I always admire in him is that he is always ready to get into the data and get his hands dirty if needed, rather than just assign tasks to his direct reports. He loves to educate people and see them grow professionally.
