Colleagues describe them as "If I were to describe Pushkala with one word, it would be 'leader'. I had the pleasure of working with Pushkala when we both worked in the Clinical Biologics organization within MedImmune/AstraZeneca. While new to the group, Pushkala was able to create a cohesive 'Clinical Services' organization - one intended to positively impact the overall performance of early Clinical Trials. She took disparate groups and shaped them with vision, purpose, and ultimately followership. The key to her success, was leadership -- she hired 'experts', she developed and coached teams/individuals, she set forth a path of excellence, high expectations, while continually developing her team and the individuals on it. Not one to shy away from difficult decisions, her ability to do so -- enabled Pushkala to create a top notch organization - her legacy continues to this day. Given Pushkala's professional background and training, I know she will be successful - no matter what industry. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with her again.
