Bio
Neeraj Arora
Sally is a smart, seasoned senior engineering manager! I reported to her for a few years and we were also peers working on the same project. She is a pleasure to work with and very professional. She managed multiple projects and teams and led development of a large, complex, scalable enterprise management software. She is a very effective leader, coach, manager and mentor. She worked with stakeholders including Product Management, Program Managers, Product Owners, Directors and Architects and led the R&D teams in developing new features that spanned Java, HTML 5, firmware. She empowered her direct staff and teams to come up with new product enhancement ideas and also encouraged process improvements. The teams were encouraged to take risks, collaborate and innovate. Working with her was a great experience! She also understands agile software development really well. If you are looking for a senior engineering manager, I highly recommend Sally.
