Shashank Gupta Email & Phone Number

Shashank Gupta is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "I have had the opportunity to report to Shashank at Microsoft, who is an AWEsome mentor and manager. If I was asked to pick one best trait(from the many he has), I would say it is his superpower to bring clarity and focus in utterly chaotic situations, so he naturally excels in the leadership position he is in. He was the Group Engineering Manager in Windows and I directly reported to him over 4 years as a Principal IC and Principal Engineering Manager. I am always impressed and learned (from observing) new ways of navigating a room and getting everyone on the same page, while being inclusive and encouraging. He has the ability to bring people together to deliver on projects while making allowing everyone to be their best and growing beyond the boundaries. He's also great at being attentive to people dynamics and situations and is always on the lookout to create opportunities and push people to achieve their best. All this while maintaining his technical grasp over the multiple projects and being customer obsessed. In my case he mentored me in my transformation from a Principal Developer, to follow my passion in people management by creating opportunities and coaching me on what it means to get and do the job and then continuing with coaching on how to become a better people manager and leader for highest impact across people and the organization. I am sure we will cross paths again and I will have much more to learn from him again. Microsoft and teams continue to thrive due to leaders like Shashank who live and breathe the culture." and "Shashank is one of strongest leaders I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Within his team, he leads with inspired standards, going in deep technically when needed and remaining a role model for others. Outside his team, Shashank is well regarded as a thought leader, bringing in perspective and business focus to the challenges at hand whatever they might be. Shashank is collaborative, results-driven, and action-oriented. However, the thing that strikes me about Shashank the most is his ability to remain objective and positive even in the harshest of circumstances. This personal resiliency kept the team together and focused in times of profound transformation within Microsoft. Lastly but not least, I found a great mentor in Shashank during the 2+ years that I reported to him, which helped me reach several important career milestones. It is due to the above that I recommend Shashank without hesitation for a leadership role within any software organization. I'm also happy to provide more information or answer any questions."
