Prakash Dodeja is a Vice President Product Development at Oracle. He possess expertise in agile methodologies, cloud computing, javascript, hadoop, mobile applications and 15 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I can count on one hand the number of true "mentors" I've had in my career and Prakash is at the top of that list. As my manager, I could count on Prakash to encourage and celebrate my growth and success. But more importantly, he was not afraid to deliver the type of constructive criticism that lets you grow if you're not afraid to accept it. I learned a tremendous amount about myself and "how things works" while working for him. Prakash is one of those rare individuals who can envision and drive the big picture with executives and clients, and then pivot effortlessly to technical details when the team needs help with a problem. For example, I recall one initiative that was poised to save the company 7-figure kind of money. The team --- myself included --- thought the ask was impossible for various techinical reasons and time constraint issues. Prakash found the way, and coached the team to that seemingly impossible finish line for a huge win. I 1000% recommend Prakash. " and "I worked with Prakash on Saba People Cloud, new Enterprise 2.0 product that is generally available since March 2012. Prakash's team built the Learning functionality for the product and I was the Product Manager. Prakash is a consummate professional - knowledgeable, collaborative, unbiased, unafraid to speak his mind which he does with a great sense of humor and ease. During product discussions, Prakash not only had the ability to quickly understand product requirements and highlight gaps that would block his team, he would also actively advocate and support best user experience and stand by our decisions in various forums/meetings. This refreshingly positive attitude made product development a collaborative team effort between product and development teams, instead of the usual tug-of-war. I would recommend Prakash for any Engineering leadership role that requires collaboration across different teams. I have really enjoyed working with Prakash and hope our paths cross again! Top qualities: Leader, team player, technical expertise, personable"
