        Aanchal is a strong project manager.  She has the full compliment of PM tools and knows how to use them well.   She applies sound practical judgement to leads her teams along the best path. 

She is a good communicator and knows how to build cohesive teams. I always appreciated that she provided timely updates and responses.  

She seems to enjoy her work and is proud of her contributions to the team.   John Cale
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        It’s not often you come across someone who is as great a team player as Aanchal. I had the pleasure of having Aanchal on my team at Digital Realty where she worked on several high profile projects.  Aanchal joined our team in IT with no prior IT experience but she quickly learned our systems and was teaching others in no time.  

After impressing us with her technical skills she transitioned into project management where she was able to use her great personal skills and her new technology skills to help communicate requirements from the business to our developers with ease.  

Aanchal was always eager to help out and learn something new in order to benefit the team, I would highly recommend her as she would be an asset on any team.
