Mona was so easy to work with as she strikes a really good balance as a manager – she trusted me to do what I needed to do but was always ready and willing to take the time to guide me when it was clear I was a bit outside my comfort zone (most often from a strategic standpoint). Mona is also a really strong communicator; she articulates very clearly what needs to be done and why. I appreciated that she would also explain how things worked. I am curious by nature and will want to know how something works even when I don’t have to. She has a tons of patience which is rare in the fast-paced world of a fast paced company. She never seemed to mind taking the extra time to explain things to me. Her strong HR ability and ease at breaking down strategic information into digestible pieces contributed to my gaining a greater interest in HR strategic decisions at work. Mona always emphasized on networking and supported the team in growing our network with the larger HR community in Mumbai. I would love to collaborate with her on more projects in the future and hope I get the chance to! Mona’s ability to find the right balance between realistic/pragmatic guidance and creative, business focused solutions makes her an ideal leader and business partner. During my time working with Mona she was always highly responsive, calm in stressful situations and able to utilize her strong project management skills and product/process knowledge to overcome many challenging scenarios at work. She is a pleasure to work with and an asset to any organization."
