“Ankitha has an incredible ability to take an idea from concept to launch in record time—executing and delivering a complex product like Meta’s Developer Portal within just six months.

What truly sets Ankitha apart is her deep user empathy. This was especially evident when she spearheaded the development of the developer support home/product. Her intuitive understanding of user needs ensured that the product was not only functional but truly valuable for its audience.

In addition to execution, Ankitha excels at leading through ambiguity. She tackled complex, undefined problems with a clear, strategic vision, building cross-functional alignment and inspiring collaboration across teams.

Ankitha is a rare combination of a strategic thinker and a results-driven executor, and any team would be fortunate to have her leadership”

- Neelima Mane Senior Manager, Meta

 

“Ankitha’s exceptional organizational skills, a keen attention to detail, and unyielding levels of diligence, she confidently navigates cross-functional complexity in fast paced, highly politicized environments. Her thoughtful communication style, and infectious positivity convincingly influence the most hardened of technologists, as well as their Sr. Leaders.
Among Ankitha’s significant contributions was leading the roll out of Agile Kanban tooling and processes to our 200 person engineering organization. Leveraging her experience, Ankitha analysed existing processes, mapped change strategies, prepared training materials packed with best practices, and executed a communication plan that set expectations, and emphasized the benefits of the change. She delivered training in a fun and engaging way, and followed up with “office hours” to mentor the workforce. Simply put, she’s a Rock Star! I look forward to the privilege of working with her again.”

Ankitha Gadag was brought on originally as a Client Engagement Manager, but she became much more.  In addition to her consulting duties, she was able to help our small startup get off of the ground with a new ITSM solution, as well as helping us more fully embrace Agile methodology.  When Ankitha designed a PMO framework to bring to new customers, she showed that she was a true rock-star.  She is incredibly well organized and an absolute pleasure to work with.

"Ankitha has a deep understanding of the IT product delivery cycle, which allows her to manage the several moving parts and proactively identify project risk. One of Ankitha’s greatest strengths is her ability to react to the present environment and creatively find a path forward. Aetna formed a strategic partnership with a financial company to deliver a digital wallet for healthcare product to the market.

She was instrumental in helping the financial institution understand the nuances of healthcare payments."
