Bio
Surya Komaragiri
As a peer on business side, I have had chance to work with Shashank for last 3 years on several critical consolidation, divestiture and SAP migration projects. As an IT leader, he demonstrated humility, ability to listen to his customers, and developed long lasting relations with business partners. He guided his team’s efforts to solve problems in line with the business strategy. He quickly developed high level understanding of the projects he managed, led his team to develop detailed plans and delivered on scope and schedule. He has done a great job in keeping stakeholders informed of any changes. Also, he effectively negotiated several contracts with vendors to deliver the scope within allocated budget. One of his most notable skills is collaboration. He knows when to pull together the right resources from IT and business teams to ensure the objectives of his projects/programs are met to customers’ expectations. I believe he will be a great asset as a leader in any technology based business.

I have worked with Shashank closely for the past 5+ years. I can recommend him without reservation as an individual of integrity, possessing excellent management skills and an uncommon understanding of how to drive organizational change. His understanding of business dynamics is evident as he interacts with leaders and contributors at all levels of the company. Shashank is able to successfully translate business strategy into actionable plans that consider all dependencies and consequences across business functions (finance, supply chain, etc).
