“I had the pleasure to work with Smita within our Technical Program Manager (TPM) group at Cisco and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a senior PM or people leader. Smita is a strong leader and excels in everything she manages. She welcomes challenges and can handle any complex program that comes her way. She is smart, agile, detail orientated, highly collaborative and works well with everyone including difficult stakeholders to get the job done. She has the can do attitude and knows the right approach to solve any challenging problems. Smita will definitely be a valuable asset to any company she joins and I can't wait to hear about her next opportunity.”
