Excited to share in a few words my recent experience with Vik Sharma, an outstanding professional that really delivered excellent work and results per the objectives that were outlined. As CEO of Barracuda EndoSurgery, a start-up medical device company within the therapeutic GI and Surgery arena, we reached out to Vik to help us with the following key initiatives: Company Logo, Landing Page, Website, Pitch Deck, and quite a few other projects for the short and long term.

Moreover, it was Vik’s quick understanding of what we needed exactly, and how it was imperative to reach our targeted audience in the most precise and strategic method, that impressed us the most.

I have worked/been supported by Vik for many years. Every time, every project in which I have seen him in action, he has demonstrated to be someone fully reliable who knows how to get things done. Vik is a results-driven problem solver. He is a pragmatic strategic thinker, very customer-focused, a great listener, and communicates effectively with others. I have always appreciated his positive, close, can-do attitude. It was always a pleasure to meet with Vik to review status of any project, large or small, with or without difficulties, he always lifted my spirits. I miss working with Vik and I highly recommend him for being able to bring ideas to life, for his value-driven solutions approach, and just for being the way he is.
