Bio
Scott Akemon
Working closely with Shekher in my role as a Staff Technical Program Manager at LiveRamp over the last two years was a joy. Shekher is the kind of TPM you can count on to show up every day ready to work. His attention to detail and ability to collaborate help any team or project he has joined. Specifically, Shekher is an expert planner with the ability to drive stakeholder conversations to generate outcomes that can map to a comprehensive plan for execution. Using JIRA, Confluence, and MIRO to capture the details Shekher generates reports and dashboards to keep a pulse on the initiative from beginning to end. In addition, he also supported his fellow TPMs and always looked for ways to share best practices and learnings that could benefit the group. I would not hesitate to recommend Shekher and I know he would be a valuable asset to any organization that is lucky enough to have him.
