Bio
Suraj Nagaraj
I have known Teruko for well over 2 years and it feels like a significant amount of time. During our time at London Business School being in the same study group gave me an opportunity to get to know her better and I see 3 most important qualities that standout. Teruko is a numerical genius and her ability to persevere and step out her comfort zone are second to none. We have debated on many financial and operational problems where Teruko's perseverance in many professional assignments have pushed us to the top of the leader-board. Given her background as a financial advisory, her ability to provide data backed justifications is commendable. Last but not the least, the most important of all is the ability to push herself beyond the limits of language barriers and actively volunteer for debates and presentations which has made her a more confident individual. As a person, she has been a motivating force within the group and her charming sense of humour is welcoming. All the best to you Teruko.
