Bio
Coryn Nunez
I had the pleasure of being on Pritesh’s team under his management for almost two years. I would recommend him as someone with profound knowledge and extraordinary abilities in advanced business solutions, start-ups, and new verticals. I enjoyed working with him on the various projects we took on. Within our company, the direction and goals would often change drastically. Pritesh would be agile while at the same time keeping the team motivated to be flexible and focused on surpassing targets. This was easy as his humor and empathy fostered a comforting work environment. As my VP / Manager, he always considered my career progression. He would involve me in different meetings and projects to help enrich my experience and move me up the ladder. I miss working with him. Any company would be lucky to have Pritesh as a part of its team!

There are a few traits that come to mind when thinking about a true leader 1)Vision 2)Strategic/Critical thinking 3)Patience and Tenacity. Having worked with Pritesh at OYO I must say he demonstrates those traits day in, day out. His fierce blend of determination, open mindedness, and interpersonal communications made challenges at a startup feel like a breeze!
