ALL Testimonials

Robert Johnson - Project Consultant at Robert Half Management Resources
"I had the opportunity to work with Amit in a program management role for a major financial services firm. Amit collaborated with senior management to shape the program’s strategic objectives and identify organizational risks while maintaining a clear vision of the desired outcome. Amit imbued the project team with a sense of urgency and had the energy and enthusiasm to keep pressing forward in conditions that may have proved too challenging for a lesser executive. I hold Amit in high regard and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him on future endeavors."

Marc Barad - Senior Banking and Financial Services Executive
"I worked very closely with Amit on a banking transformation project where he oversaw the organizational change management track. I was very impressed with Amit's ability to lead executive client discussions on change management, formulate a customized plan and present new opportunities in simple, easy to understand terms (i.e. minimal "consultant speak"). Amit is a top-notch consultant who knows his stuff and delivers results. I'd hire Amit again if and when the need arises."
