Bio
James Boag MBA
I worked closely with Rithika during her time as an Amazon Pathways Operations Intern. One of Rithika's standout qualities was her ability to integrate quickly with the on-site team and to build effective work relationships spanning a number of cross-functional teams. Rithika was tasked to lead a project aimed at improving the quality and utilization of our automated sort label mechanism for packages. Rithika approached the project with a high degree of analytical rigor, meticulously examining every aspect of the sort label mechanism to identify areas for improvement. Specifically, her contributions were passed to the EU learning and operational improvement team for EU-wide implementation. Beyond her technical skills and project management capabilities, she exhibited strong communication skills by regularly updating project status and potential obstacles to both management and other stakeholders. I am confident that Rithika has a bright future ahead, and I look forward to following her continued success.

As someone who has worked with different teams across the globe, I can say Rithika is one of the most proactive professionals I came across. I had the opportunity to work with her on a marketing project at Schneider Electric and was impressed with her organizational skills. She is eager to learn and also a team player, giving ideas, recommendations, and always committed to the assignments she had been given. As a team member or a leader, Rithika has my recommendation.
