Ramitha Somasekhara is a Technical Program Manager | Ethernet Customer solutions. Colleagues describe her as "Ramitha has been amazing me with her abilities since she joined the same team I was on at Intel Ethernet. Hired with another great engineer at the same time, these two became "the Wonder Twins" because they both picked up so much technical knowledge so fast. They quickly grew in separate directions, both up, I got the pleasure and honor of seeing how good Ramitha was growing into an engineer, customer advocate and technical leader. Soon she was presenting to management portions of a new link technology I had designed, starting a continuing ability of being able to present to all levels of org chart ability, never being overwhelmed and adjusting her talks to match the audience. With her technical abilities, the industrial markets that worked on wasn't going to be enough for her, so she moved into supporting customers developing on our cutting edge solutions. Great talent goes where great talent is needed. Not only did she learn the new stuff, but she also over time did things like coverage for senior technical program management while they were out on sabbatical, and stepped into the role of a senior technical leader when they moved into the next program. Ramitha never missed a beat, and showing she was still a dynamic learner, able to quickly learn new skills. She soon moved to join that technical leader on the new stuff, and again she shined. With her program management skills proven, she quickly ended up as a technical lead for a huge OEM with our most complex product ever. Ramitha isn't just an engineer, she is kind, listens to hear first, not to reply first, and puts people first in all that she does. Whatever the technical role she is looking for, she can do it. Whatever business will have the honor of her employment will have a world class engineer and even better person on their team. I can't recommend Ramitha enough. Technical skills, customer skills, presentation skills, program management skill, people skills, she is all the things a business could want in a senior technical leader, and I don't think she's hit her ability ceiling yet."
