Shruti is unique is that she has the attention to detail of a trained auditor and the big picture perspective of a strategy consultant. She enjoys exploring new areas and is not intimidated by complexity or uncertainty. She is confident and coachable. She is independent yet knows when and how to ask questions. I would hire Shruti without any hesitation.

Her keen insights informed the comprehensive final research that the group shared with me as a part of their coursework.
