Bio
Patrick Krause
It's difficult to put in words the tremendous contribution Narayana made to IT Convergence of his nearly 6 years of service. At the point he joined, we were a fledgling off-shore team of approximately 70 people. Under Narayana's leadership IT Convergence quickly grew to more than 300 Oracle Applications experts. The headcount doesn't really honor the accomplishment. Many companies are much larger. However, Narayana was able to assemble a team of true Oracle EXPERTS unmatched by any company in India. Our initial goal was to off load the night work and the easy routine tasks. As the team matured, we realized our India team was in many cases more capable of handling complex issues than even our US team. He is truly a great leader. Narayana brought in the team that then created finely tuned processes. Our clients often commented and complimented the fact that we were able to execute complex multi-day hosting transitions, upgrades and go-lives without a hitch. That would not have been possible without our India team. Despite his many technical accomplishments, what I found most endearing about working with Narayana was his impeccable character. I would trust him with my life. For a US company trying to grow a team in India, it's simply not possible without having 100% confidence in your local leadership. I could sleep at night knowing that Narayana and his team had us covered. More than anyone else, Narayana taught ME how to be the CEO of a global company by building an Indian Operations team that is second to none.

It was a pleasure working with Narayana while he headed the functional and testing practice. His commitment, excellent communication skills and business acumen have always guided me and the team learn new skills, tackle tough tasks and providing unique solutions to the customers. Narayana is an exceptionally gifted leader who is responsive, cooperative and approachable at any point of time. He leads by an example in not only building functional/technical skill set, but also provides every input in personality development and presentation skills. He always has a creative, positive outlook which brings people together and boosts the confidence of any individual.
