Bio
Korhan Bircan
I highly recommend Sonali for any leadership or executive roles. As a former team member of hers, I can confidently say that she is one of the best managers I have worked with in my career. Sonali has a talent for recognizing the potential in her team members and providing them with the guidance and support to help them achieve their goals. During my time working with Sonali, she always communicated clearly and provided detailed guidance in every project we worked on. She provided the necessary leadership opportunities and challenges that I was looking for, which helped me grow both personally and professionally. I can honestly say that I was the happiest I had ever been in my career, thanks to her leadership. Sonali has a customer-focused and impact-driven approach to her work, which she instills in her team members. She is also very nimble in execution and has the ability to elevate the operational effectiveness of her team in various ways. She implemented better processes and frameworks, improved stakeholder engagement and communication, and increased accountability. One of the things that stood out to me about Sonali is her ability to provide the right level of guidance and support in each project that we took on and provide valuable insights and guidance on how to make important decisions. I also learned to be more assertive by observing her work and interacting with multiple executives. In addition, I improved my written communication skills as a result of her effective communication style. Through direct feedback and observing how she develops her proposals, I have developed a more organized way of thinking, resulting in stylistic improvements in my written communication. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Sonali, and I highly recommend her as a leader and an executive. She is an asset to any organization, and I am confident that she will continue to define new heights.

I worked with Sonali @ Vuclip for around 1 year and the thing that stood out most about Sonali in that short time was her effectiveness as a "team leader". Sonali also has a unique knack of key & impactful technical/engineering initiatives aligning business goals with clear & quantitative measurement metrics. She has an great sense of ownership, leads her team by example and is very well respected throughout the organization. Sonali would be a great asset to any team looking for a strong leader.
