Bio
Ashika Ghosh
I had the pleasure of working with Kamal during my internship at GenUSA. He was our advisor and we reported to him for the spring semester of 2023. Kamal's welcoming and organized approach made the experience of interning in a foreign country much less intimidating. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and he made sure that we were all on the same page when it came to our projects and goals. Additionally, Kamal's communication skills are exceptional. He made sure that we were informed of any updates or changes in a timely manner, and he was always open to feedback or suggestions. He taught me a lot about the differences between Italian and American business culture, and ensured we assimilated comfortably. Overall, I believe that Kamal is be a valuable asset to any team or organization. I highly recommend him without reservation and am confident that he will excel in any future endeavors.

Coming from Milan, meeting Kam was a life changing experience. We met through mutual friends and from that moment on we knew that we would make a great team. We were lucky enough to be recruited from the same company as consultants to work on a short-term project. At first we faced differences and challenges that were both unexpected and arduous to overcome. Through transparent and clear communication we were able to understand each other's differences and perspective. Such experience gave us the change to understand the importance of diversity and collaboration. Ultimately we delivered the desired outcome for the client and discovered our potential as a team.
