Bio
Jon M Bernstein, PMP
Tejas and I have collaborated on human systems approaches to organizational readiness and growth strategies for Gallup clients. What I find most distinctive about Tejas, is his quickness: he quickly absorbs new content & new situations, quickly synthesizes this information, and quickly creates action/strategy for change, without sacrificing precision and depth of insight. This is the speed at which organizations must operate and adapt in order to succeed, and any organization will find itself in good hands with Tejas as a trusted advisor or as a colleague.

I had the pleasure of working with Tejas for approx. one year on a change management project for a large global consumer goods manufacturer during our time at Accenture. I greatly admired his ability to quickly establish credibility with the client and build strong relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders, as well as his ability to develop innovative change strategies that enabled our client to exceed user adoption targets and maximize ROI. In addition, Tejas taught me the value of true collaboration in leadership in the way he consistently found ways to create opportunities for his teammates, which in turn maximized team performance. It was a joy and an honor to work with Tejas and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future!
