Bio
Sreekant Thirunagari
I had the pleasure to work with Nitasha on Citrix GoToMeeting team for two years. She is a great person to be around. We worked together to launch the HTML5 app for GoToMeeting and many other initiatives. She played a key role in pushing for and executing lean-startup approach. She was very decisive when needed to make the tough calls on scope and features. Nitasha has a knack to ask most relevant questions at the right time. One of her core strengths is the ability to bridge communications between engineering, marketing, customer care and business stakeholders. Nitasha has a candid and honest personality. Overall a great teammate and product manager who knows how to successfully launch products.

It’s rare to encounter a product manager with Nitasha’s energy and skill. I had the pleasure of working with Nitasha for two years, collaborating on development of Cisco WebEx products for enterprises. I was particularly impressed with Nitasha’s ability to develop complete product solutions to customer requirements--working from the intersection of user-first experience, solid technical depth, and clear business acumen, Nitasha can envision and articulate end-to-end product functionality that’s a win for the customer and a win for the business. And then rally the troops with her energy and enthusiasm to get it built. She’s the one who can transform an office full of co-workers into a team that’s having fun getting good things done. Nitasha would be a true asset to any product management organization looking to move boldly and strategically forward.
