        Aakrati, Congratulations on completing your Six Sigma Green Belt certification. Individuals willing to take on the additional responsibility of working on a project to achieve a quality certification, differentiate themselves from their peers and are better prepared to handle complex issues as you they move forward with their career.

        I had a chance to work with Aakrati when I was in ERP Governance Leader role at GE. Aakrati supported me on various initiatives including Change mgmt., release mgmt.., and Post Prod Support.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Aakrati, she is truly a valuable asset for any team. Aakrati is very honest, dependable and incredibly hard working.
I was very impressed with her professionalism and willingness to go over and beyond to help internal customers meet their tight deadlines was exemplary
Above all she is a great human being. She will be a great asset to any team! Alex Floridi FCCA
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aakrati is a hands-on IT Director. Over the past few years, any time my team hit problems with Oracle, I called Aakrati to the rescue. Aakrati has been relentless in solving issues, proposing improvements & sharing knowledge. It is a real pleasure to partner with Aakrati: her sheer dynamism, commitment and attention to detail are an example for all to follow.

        In her everyday activities Aakrati demonstrates superior professional (database architecture and data analysis) and customer-oriented (eagerness to learn and resolve the actual problems) skills. The process of professional communication was productive, predictable and smooth. Kendalle Cobb

        I worked with Aakrati on an initiative to provide a governance process for the reporting/business intelligence requests in the department of Surgery.  I discovered that Aakari possesses strong organization skills and intelligence to accomplish our objectives.  Just as important to me was her willingness to work and lead and her positive attitude. I subsequently recommended that she join the planning committee for the Annual ITD Technology Forum, where she made a positive contribution and a good impression on the rest of the team.  I look forward to working with her on this initiative in the coming years. John Zeller
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aakrati is a gifted analyst who can analyze problems, research programming solutions and is able to implement the most effective solution.  She also has great communication skills, which allow her to communicate solutions to everyone (from programmers to non-technical managers).  I have worked with Aakrati for over 5 years and despite any challenge she faces, she is optimistic that a solution will be found, which enhances the work environment for the better.

        Aakrati came to us for her first "job" with an excellent grounding in Computer Sciences.  She interacted with physicians, educators and members of the IT team to develop a new application from scratch.  She went out of the way to help train users on the application and took the feedback they gave her to add new features.

        Aakrati is a problem solver. She can analyze complex issues and come up with creative solutions.  She has a strong programming knowledge and is very energetic and positive. It was a pleasure to work with her.
