        I've worked with Aswini on a consulting project for the New York Times / International Herald Tribune. Aswini's excellent knowledge of the media industry helped greatly to understand the client context and how it impacts possible solutions. Her contributions were essential to not only applying strategic frameworks, but to tailor a unique solution based on concepts from corporate strategy, marketing, and corporate finance.
Finally, she was great to work with on a personal level and had very positive impact on team culture . John Scully
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aswini quickly grasped our needs, got inside the brand and our market and worked with her team to deliver a polished, informative and insightful proposal. She was great to work with as the team leader on this project.
