Working with Ashwin has been a great pleasure. While I did not report directly to him, I often worked on projects that he was overseeing. During our time working together I gained a great appreciation for his ability to form a relationship with anyone he spoke with. He is very personable, and brings a good sense of humor to the office each day. During our recent project implementing a new ATS he was a tremendous force in ensuring that our teams stayed focused on the task at hand and leading us to a successful go-live. At the end of the day, working remotely has its own hurdles. Ashwin would always follow up with each team member to check in on them, and it was a nice gesture that helped to build camaraderie.

Ashwin is an asset to any team! Ashwin and I worked together closely on a number of complex marketing technology initiatives during his time at iZotope. At every turn I was impressed with his ability to drive the team toward solutions that made sense, decompose complex projects into actionable steps, and keep teams aligned. Ashwin blends his deep technical expertise with an understanding of business objectives in a way that helped our team not only understand the work right in front of us, but how that work fits into a long term vision for the business.

I would work with Ashwin on any project. He has extensive experience in integrating systems and architecting solutions for business needs. We worked together on multiple projects relating to order-to-cash flow for iZotope, the building of an integrated QA/staging infrastructure—which persists to this day in large part thanks to his thoughtful recommendations on its configuration, as well as to his tenaciously seeking out lasting solutions. Ashwin lead an effort to develop a 360 member profile hub within Salesforce that has given us valuable insights into our members in addition to creating a resource for actionable data that continually improves the customer experience. His experience with lead capture architecture and PII data compliance was invaluable in our projects to implement a lead capture data flow as well as in a project to develop the mechanism/logic that would determine customer profiling data and integrate that data across our infrastructure. On a personal note, Ashwin is a pleasure to work with. His ability to give and receive honest, constructive feedback, his impecable attention to detail, as well as his ability to keep the big picture strategic initiatives in focus while driving forward tactical solutions put him in a rarified category of professional. I look forward to the next time we get to work together to bring value to a business and its customers!

Reporting to Ashwin for the last several months has been an amazing experience. Ashwin displayed great planning, vision, and execution on a large Salesforce integration project at iZotope. What I appreciated most about my time with Ashwin was his leadership and mentorship.

Karansinh Vansia
I am a senior developer here at iZotope, and I've had the pleasure of working directly with Ashwin Sankaran for about a year during his time here. We took on a daunting Salesforce integration challenge and by the end we were able to successfully deliver a data rich, 360 view of our customers within a single platform. He managed our team with professionalism, a clear vision, strong technical and logical skills, and great guidance with focus on best practices. His ability to lead multiple projects competently simply makes our jobs as individual contributors so much easier. He also has a great network of resources and works well with third party vendors. And beyond all of that, he is simply a great person to work with, easy to talk to, and always willing to provide advice. The wealth of Salesforce and CRM knowledge he bought to the table will definitely be missed by our team, and I know he will be an extremely capable and valuable partner for whatever project he works on next.

It isn't that often that you come across a multifaceted talent like Ashwin. I had the pleasure of working with Ashwin for two years at Quick Base, collaborating and supporting multiple stakeholders. Ashwin's expertise as a Business Solution Architect and his ability to handle even the toughest stakeholders were some of the many things that I admire about him. I was always in awe of Ashwin's ability to tackle multiple projects and be able to deliver efficiently. And I still miss those walking meetings that Ashwin instituted in our team with the goal of making sure we also keep track of our health and not only project deliverables. Ashwin would be an asset to any team/company that expects employees to go above and beyond. He earns my highest recommendation.
Godsway Sappor
I enjoyed working with Ashwin at Quick Base, and have learned many things from him. One of his strengths is that he is consistently willing to answer any questions or explain whatever he knows to whomever asks. He is also eager to learn new things, and use that knowledge to better understand how a process works and offer improvements. When it comes to problem solving, Ashwin is very good about listening to the problem and asking questions until he fully understands the issue before offering a solution. In his role as a Implementation Manager, Ashwin always strove to simplify processes and increase speed and accuracy of data. His documentation of business processes was detailed and complete, which helped during implementations, and he ensured new functionality was developed and tested according to spec. Ashwin has many qualities that make him excellent in a leadership role. He has brought in and managed various contractors, he as a good sense of how the business works, and is willing to share his knowledge to further improve others. He is thorough, honest, and straightforward when he communicates, and you can always count on him to do what he says. It was a pleasure working with Ashwin, and he is a valuable asset to any team and company.

Ashwin was instrumental to this project's success and his ability to keep the project on track and keep stakeholders informed along the way was remarkable. Ashwin has an amazing attention to detail, which is evident by his ability to document complex procedures and create robust test plans that allow a variety of use cases to be tested.
