Bio
Mary Stewart
I have never met anyone as willing to jump into the fray as Surekha. She has shown she can build a team from the ground up and roll with the punches when circumstances dictate change again and again. She is an incredible team player—advocating for her people, leading her peers and participating in the most senior decisions. I’d work with her any day—she makes organizations stronger.

Few people have the opportunity to work with a manager who is both technically savvy and a supportive leader – but I did when I worked for Surekha. I have worked with Surekha at various companies, most recently reporting to her at Genapsys. I have always been impressed at her ability to explain technical information to audiences with diverse backgrounds in a way that everyone could understand, as well as her ability to motivate and manage multi-disciplined teams to achieve business objectives. No matter the level or type of experience of each member on any project, Surekha made each person feel like his/her/they skills were important and contributed to the success of the business. She went out of her way to encourage different perspectives and diverse viewpoints, which deepened our connections with other team members and made us stronger as a team. If you ever have the chance to work for Surekha, I’d wholeheartedly recommend that you take it.
