Sejal has many critical traits which enable her to become an effective and successful business leader. Her relentless pursue to deliver solutions and results also make her a valuable partner for the customers. Sejal is passionate about what she does and constantly looking for innovative ways to create, improve, and refine effective business and technical solutions for both her organization and the customers. As a result-oriented critical thinker with a broad range of business, technical, and leadership skills, Sejal can and has been very effective to deliver great results in every aspect of her current works and beyond. The unique combination of critical thinking, leadership/business management skills, technical capability, and team oriented personality definitely make Sejal an unparalleled valuable contributor for any organization.

Working within the Trimble Transportation team for 6 years already, I have the sincerest pleasure to work with Sejal as colleague and accomplished team member. Sejal has been covering both a LoB (line of business) role for the Innovative TMS, as well as being hands-on and thought leader for the Innovative / TL 2000 SW Development teams. This means effectively spanning the range of SW Development leadership, but also working very much customer facing at both the technical delivery and business development. This span of responsibility also requires working well and esp. efficiently cross-departmental, including sales, prof services, support, and accounting. As LoB Leader for the Innovative TMS, Sejal has managed year after year to deliver to high OI percentages and delivered sustainable revenue while maintaining a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Sejal embodies commitment, integrity, excellence as a leader who is hands on, passionately advocating for customer centric execution and generating profitable revenue. It is a pleasure to provide this reference and strong recommendation of Sejal, as I genuinely believe that she is an indispensable asset. Sejal embodies being an instrumental technical but also business leader, and therefore immensely valuable contributor to any organization.
