        Aanal has incredible perspective and business intuition. As Partner Marketing Manager , she was incredibly well respected as she was easily able to apply a partner lens to all communications and to help partners build real, tangible value for their businesses using our server products as the foundation. Aanal easily partnered internally and navigated the organization very quickly even when brand new to the company. Her warmth coupled with clear and strategic commercial appreciation made her a favorite confidante and collaborator- I hope we get to work together again!

        I worked with Aanal in two distinct capacities, both of which showed me how skilled and committed Aanal is to achieving solid results. Initially, we worked together in Citrix Corporate and Product Marketing Group, where we helped drive Citrix towards the $1 billion mark in annual revenues. Aanal was highly dedicated and never shirked working into the night to achieve project deadlines. She is intelligent, strategic and focused on working with multiple parties to achieve great results. I also worked with Aanal after she left Citrix and joined Microsoft. She and I kept in contact when I was in charge of Global Sales Programs and she was part of the team responsible for the Citrix-Microsoft relationship. Aanal knows both companies inside and out and has extensive contacts with senior business and technical leaders at both. If you want to get something done between the two companies, she is a go-to expert. It's a testament to my regard and respect for Aanal that we have remained good friends for the past 15 years and I recommend her with full confidence.
