On the work
"A memorable project was helping integrate the sales and marketing organizations of two companies which had just merged. My role was to serve as 'air traffic controller' for the many streams of works and parallel initiatives. We led a series of projects that brought the best practices of both companies, while also creating areas where the new organization would start with a fresh perspective. The merger enabled the combined organization to successfully surpass growth rates and industry forecasts of the two independent companies."
On ZS values
Get It Right: "To me, ZS has been a wonderful experience since I am proud of how we interact with each other as well as with clients. On an unwavering basis, we provide great service to our clients. Our level of repeat customers speaks volumes toward this. We achieve this success by treating clients and each other with respect. In fact, some of my best friends are clients of mine. Some of my clients are former colleagues and friends from ZS. The overall sense of partnership with our clients is high, and living our values is natural since it fits our personalities."
On life outside work
"Outside of work, my top priority is playing with my kids. Our games and activities range from sports to board games to traveling, et cetera. Other than that, I like to golf, play on the ZS softball team and spend time with my friend Tivo."
On the Evanston office
"A great part about Evanston for me is the ability to live in the suburbs and conveniently get to work. There are many transportation options into and out of Evanston. This is more practical than most considerations, but it works for me and my family."
