As a cryptographic certification specialist it is very important for me to ensure that these devices will allow our Cisco products to obtain various domestic and international security certifications. Obtaining the right amount of information from a component vendor is critical to doing this task and I have yet to encounter anyone who was better than Tasha in supporting me in doing so. She would always be available, listen patiently, and work extremely hard to ensure that my requirements were always met and she would do this both quickly and efficiently. Working with me can be very frustrating but Tasha always managed to remain pleasant and professional." and "I first met Tasha when she was a channel manager at RTI, where she managed their most strategic partnership, Wind River (WR). She worked very effectively to foster sales of RTI products via WR sales reps. After WR acquired RTI ScopeTools, Tasha became a semiconductor partner manager at WR, where she created strategic relationships to grow mutual sales via technical and business solutions development and co-selling, go-to-market programs. I have continued to work with Tasha over the years and her consistent professional approach with an effective personal demeanor, combined with her deep industry experience, makes her a very valuable asset."
