Bio
Rob Chapman
Sumit worked for us for three weeks on a freelance basis. His research was thorough, well structured and he worked diligently throughout. He slotted into the team seamlessly and remained highly focused on delivering the work required.
Lars Wulff-Nilsen
We hired Sumit to do an assignment for Sealed Air in 2014, where he assisted the global marketing team with market analysis, segmentation and brand/market strategy development for a multi-market growth strategy project. In collaboration with our team, Sumit quickly developed a structured approach to the challenge with clear and logical steps, and throughout showed his agility in finding creative solutions around obstacles met along the way. His involvement and interaction was marked by a high quality analytical approach, quick understanding of our business environment and effective application of advanced marketing skills. In concluding his assignment, Sumit delivered with excellence the perhaps most fundamental element of his contribution - a very good translation of the insights retrieved through his analysis into firm and action-oriented recommendations for Sealed Air. I can with sincerity and enthusiasm recommend Sumit's services to other prospective clients of his, and will keep him firmly on my list for candidates when a need for similar assignments arise in the future
