Praveen carries the most approachable and positive demeanour whenever you meet him for the first time. He has an endearing sense humour. Building and sustaining customer relationships and engagement in a tough market are some of his key strengths. I had the opportunity of working with Praveen at Marriott International during a time when the hotel had to navigate through many challenges in building back its position as a market leader. Praveen is always excited to meet clients. His flexibility and negotiation skills have always been key factors in bringing in business that is reputed and profitable. He was a respected Sales leader amongst colleagues and clients and carried out his responsibilities with utmost integrity. Wishing him the very best in his future endeavours.
