Robert Avery
Vikas brought a couple of key positive mixes to his role as Regional Senior BA for the UK within the programme. He has a good mix of Portfolio and Order Management experience and equally a blend of business knowledge and hands on technical ability. The skills mix combined with his positive outlook, flexible attitude and temperament allowed him to operate well at all levels across the programme. Vikas impressed both business and technology stakeholders and after repeatedly delivering has moved on and is universally wished well. I and others would welcome the opportunity to work with Vikas in the future.
