Bio
Supriya Sukumaran Davis
I’ve had the pleasure and honor of working closely with Susmitha. She is dedicated, excellent to partner with and wealth of knowledge. She does not shy away from tough conversations and is always the voice of reason. I’m confident that she’ll be a phenomenal asset in any role she takes on and will be a subject matter expert in no time.
Jeff Huddleston, PMP, CSM, SP
Susmitha served as the Agile coach for my Scrum Team at Waste Management. She is among the most effective Agile Practitioners with whom I've had the good fortune to work. Susmitha's direct guidance enabled me to steer our Scrum Team toward achieving greater agility and delivering value to our stakeholders at a much quicker pace than prior to her intervention. Moreover, Susmitha's concern for me as a ScrumMaster and the entire team was evident in her clear, positive, and effective interactions with us. It is my fervent hope that I will have the opportunity to work with Susmitha again and I'm confident any team would not only benefit, but thrive as a result of Susmitha's presence.
