“I've known Sudha professionally for a long time - starting from her very first days at her first job ( P&G). Sudha is one of the strongest business leaders/partners I've worked with - she enables the business by helping frame the right questions / issues and then applying research and analytics to guide the business team on these critical questions. There are many things that make Sudha stand out:
1) Business Acumen - Ability to frame and isolate the most important business issues and find smart ways to address them using a combination of research and judgement.
2) Strong Initiative, Bias to action and results - Strong Insights to Action mindset .
3) Integrated Thinking - Ability to connect diverse pieces of information and create a holistic picture of what is really happening and what actions are required.
4) Ability to prioritize and manage resources smartly: Sudha is very easily able to see the trade offs between accuracy, cost, complexity, speed in the larger context of managing risk/effort and rewards.
5) Working with people: In a role where the results you deliver are via influencing ( vs having decision rights), you have to be good at working with people - Whether it is motivating and coaching your team, or opening a key stakeholder's mind to an alternate viewpoint, Sudha excels at working with diverse groups of people to drive results via them.
She has always been and will be a tremendous asset to any organization especially those that value analytical depth, business intuition and the ability to work through complex organization structures”
