Colleagues describe him as "Few people get the opportunity to work with a talent like Ali. I've had the pleasure of working with him over the past year & his commitment to our joint success is unparalleled. I'm continually impressed with Ali's ability to see/articulate the big picture and more importantly execute on his vision. It's rare you find an executive that is willing to roll up their sleeves and spend the time to build relationships with sales & customers. It's obvious he takes great pride in his work. I truly believe Ali sets the prime example of walking the talk. "One measure of leadership is the caliber of people who choose to follow you." Something tells me Ali would have no shortage of A players following him on any path he chooses.", "I have worked with Ali for more than 5 years at Oracle. Ali is a strong leader with unique experience of technology, customer focus, vision, strategy and execution. He has mentored many people while at Oracle and I have always been thankful for his mentoring. Ali had a special talent of knowing what will sell and what won’t sell with Enterprise customers. He always thinks of customer in mind whenever project meetings are held. He would question the rationale behind a project and asks about how the customers will create value and how they will be willing to pay for the new features. In addition, he would emphasize on the projects which may not directly generate revenue but will create increased adoption of the products by customers. He looks at the project planning as a way of creating growth to the products and services, either directly or indirectly. He is one of the very few people I know who would make the decisions quickly and make the organization move forward. He believed in decentralization of decision making and encourages people to take decisions at their level without creating too much bureaucracy. When it comes to collaboration, he would pool in the right resources to collaborate for the greater goals in the company. Ali would think in diverse ways to deal with corporate politics. He has the best navigational skills in terms of dealing with the politics. He wouldn’t engage in losing wars and always creates backups & backup to backup plans to make sure the project deliveries doesn’t suffer due to the politics beyond his control. I am thankful to him that he has explained several times on how people behave when politics are involved and how we should avoid such situations. In execution, he always keeps the focus on the end goal irrespective of the distractions. He would give independence to his organization and does a great job of protecting the organization from distractions so that the people can focus on their work effectively. Ali is very detailed oriented in terms of quality and how the products are perceived by customers. He would thrive for achieving consistency of user experience across all the projects in his organization/company. Ali creates the processes which improve productivity and reduces bureaucracy In summary, Ali has the mix of every thing needed in a leader. It was a privilege working with him.", and "I had the pleasure of working directly with Ali for two years during out time together at Cisco. Within that time we launched two new products. Ali is an incredible engineer. He is able to drive the big picture but also pays deep attention to the details ensuring that the vision gets delivered. The market insertion point for those two products was perfect."
