Bio
Andre Nadeau
Karthik is definitely someone I would recommend for an organization looking for a smart, hard working and great thinker. He is someone with high energy who can think outside the box. And a great guy on top of it!
Peter Bews
I always found Karthik to be very responsive and super knowledgeable when it came to helping us with the financial aspects of our deals. Any request I had was promptly actioned and was always on point with what I needed. Sad to see him leave the Avanade family but know he will continue to make a positive impact on his next role and organization
