Bio
Sanjay Kamat
Tina is a prime candidate if you’re seeking a capable, dedicated, and meticulous CFO or VP to lead your finance team. I had the privilege of bringing Tina on board to oversee the Profit and Loss management of Bell Labs Consulting, a global R&D-based advisory service. During the initial phases of this new P&L endeavor within a traditional R&D organization, Tina demonstrated her expertise and integrity, showcasing remarkable adaptability and strong leadership. Tina took proactive steps to equip the R&D and consulting staff with valuable tools and instructional videos, enhancing their understanding of sound costing practices, value-based pricing, and effective tracking of the opportunity pipeline and project profitability. Working with Tina is a pleasure; her contributions are invaluable to any organization. One of Tina’s notable strengths is her commitment to transparent communication. She isn’t hesitant to ask essential questions the business leader may miss, highlighting potential issues affecting the organization’s success. I wholeheartedly endorse Tina and offer my strongest recommendation without reservation. Her abilities are truly commendable and make her a standout choice.
