As the Engineering lead for critical new developments, I've seen him in action for last couple of years. First, Harsh is a very high-energy and driven individual which has enabled us to effectively collaborate with various functions of the cross functional team, fostering culture of trust and teamwork. Second, he is able to communicate clear direction to the team - look at the big picture, make trade-offs and prioritize what matters the most. This has allowed us to execute to very aggressive product launch schedules. Third, he has always shown high degree of ownership and can-do attitude while facing uphill challenges - technical roadblocks, resource constraints, changing customer or competitive landscape. In all these moments, he has remained flexible and demonstrated strong leadership to keep the team motivated and project moving. He is by far one of the best program managers I have worked with in my career." and "Harsh is rare blend of program manager with both technical and manufacturing background given his six sigma training. He collaborated with NPI organization during initial product builds and was able to break down silos. He pulled in expertise from across the company to address issues early on to meet and exceed product quality and product safety goals. I am really impressed with his dedication towards speed of execution and his focus on product quality. He has certainly raised the bar for other program managers at Applied Materials."
