Bio
Shishir Gundavaram
Kresley is one of the most talented, hard working, and dedicated people I have ever been around. I have worked with him for more than 10 years, during which he played a very critical role in elevating a startup with an idea to a very successful company that was recently acquired. He was responsible for conceptualizing, planning, and designing market-leading automotive CRM applications, creating eye-striking communications collateral, while seamlessly managing a team of designers to handle customers' marketing needs. He really can do-it-all; during our tenure together, while always wearing his creative and design hat, he simultaneously managed the customer support team, and later was the head of product. He is best suited for a hybrid product and design role, which allows all of his considerable talents to really shine! Most importantly, Kresley is down to earth, genuine, empathetic, and just a great human being. I consider myself so very fortunate to be in his stratosphere all of these years, and hope that everyone gets a chance to work with him. He is a terrific person, and an extraordinary talent!
