Cedars-Sinai is one of the highest ranked hospitals in California. Known for its excellent service, care, and hospitality, volunteers for this hospital were expected to be second to none.

        Aakash (AJ) has been a tremendous asset to myself and our clients. He assumed responsibility for a number of our most complex customers in the middle of the contract periods and immediately recognized the imperative to assert himself as an authoritative partner. His diligent preparation for each engagement empowered him to be present in the moment and relate clients' challenges to appropriate resources, which is critical for establishing credibility with Executive Leaders.
