Bio
Tom Burger
I've worked closely with Raghu for the last 1,5 years. In those years Raghu has matured to a software director that steers his teams to get predictable estimations that converted into on time (with quality) completion of the software. He is able to provide PMs with clear options on what functionality has what impact on timelines, ensuring the business can focus on what is most important considering the real development efforts. What I enjoyed personally, he is a good leader that provides a positive and joyful work environment.
