Bio
Krista Pennington
Manan and i worked together during his time as an Associate Merchant for Walmart. From the beginning of our collaborations, Manan was open and flexible, and had an amazing skill set around creative problem solving and thorough communication. His focus, vision and ability to adjust to constant changes was key to the growth of our business in the most challenging of times. In addition to his strong work ethic, Manan has an inspirational life attitude that is an absolute joy to be around. I have had the pleasure of working with many merchants though-out the years and Manan is truly first class one of the best all around!

Manan is great to work with. Professional, strategic, analytical, creative, and solution driven. Always respectful of people, and the idea's they bring. I always felt comfortable bringing Manan issues and opportunities, as I knew he would partner with me to find the best solution to move forward. Leverages his strong financial background to make informed decisions that grow top and bottom line together. And most importantly, Manan is a sincerely good person that I am glad I was able to work with, and look forward to crossing paths more times in life.
