Bio
Tirupati Badinani
Sally worked with me as a Programme Director. She is a gifted Programme Director who really understands how to make things work. Her core strengths are mentoring, being highly organized, process oriented and commitment to delivery. She is a avid learner, and strives always for adding more value to her contribution to the organization. Sally is the best kind of teammate to work with. She is one of the most humble person I have worked with .Her kind, approachable manner and the thorough and professional way that she attends to her work are commendable. I would say with utmost confidence that, wherever she works she would be a valuable asset.
