Ankit Agrawal is a Senior Product Manager - AI at Energy Exemplar. Colleagues describe him as "Ankit was a trusted and valued partner at BNY Mellon as we collaborated on and implemented an innovative end to end Data Science Agility process that empowered Machine Learning teams that spanned the world from ideation to delivery. Working together we obtained the support of our Global Head by designing a dynamic Jira/Confluence information radiator that empowered the organization to learn faster, minimize waste by reducing duplication of efforts, and increase collaboration by supporting teams to work together and share their findings. When managing global teams it is critical to have partners who you trust but are respected leaders in their communities and can influence change even when they do not have formal authority. Ankit is not only a thought leader in managing Data Science teams, but an authentic leader of teams and people who is able to successfully implement global change. In my experience, to be a successful leader in the Data Science space requires technical skills, analytic skills to identify what the problem you are trying to solve and how to best solve it, and most importantly the leadership skills to successfully implement and operationalize solutions. Ankit is the rare triple threat who possesses all of these skills who I highly recommend."
