Gursharan Singh Pabla P.Eng MBA

Najah has a strong understanding of Business Analytics. The skill was very valuable to me as she was tasked to solve a complex problem for my real estate focused tech startup, VUS Ai. After four months of research, analysis and ingenuity, she and another student provided a working algorithm. This no small feat and should be celebrated.

Najah is a very hard worker and she works even smarter. A loyal employee, she fosters a positive working environment through collaboration with the team. She brings innovative ideas to the table and I truly enjoyed leading her while at GE. I highly recommend her to any hiring manager who is deserving of her skill set and tenacity.
