I had the pleasure of reporting to Madhuri while working at Adobe within the Creative Cloud video team. Together, we shaped the future of how we collaborate with partners. Madhuri's analytical skills, her ability to navigate our large organization, and her unwavering focus on solutions and facts were incredibly inspiring and a great learning curve for me.
Despite numerous management changes, Madhuri always encouraged us to "embrace the change," and under her leadership, we delivered amazing results. Her dedication to fostering a collaborative environment and her strategic thinking made a significant impact on our team's success. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such an exceptional manager and mentor.

Madhuri is one of the most thoughtful and people-centered managers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She leads with empathy, and makes a genuine effort to see her team members as people first—not just employees. She invests time in understanding individual strengths, aspirations, and challenges, and consistently strives to create a space where people feel supported, heard, and empowered to grow. Working under her leadership was not only a valuable professional experience—I also learned a lot from her on a personal level. Any team would be lucky to have her.

I worked with Madhuri at VMware on releasing a new cloud service called Usage Insight. She was leading the marketing effort. I was leading the engineering effort. On the very first meeting with Madhuri I knew she knows what she is doing. She came up with marketing plan of 20 focus ares, next steps and timeline. It was such a comprehensive list of activities. We worked as a true team throughout service launch and ramp-up of customers in the following months. Madhuri did not spare effort to bring together various internal and external groups to common understanding, messaging and approach. She was stepping up to fill the gaps of roles that were missing, like onboarding manager. Under her leadership our service became the service with the most tenants of all VMware Cloud Services.

Madhuri is one of few people I can say is the reason for where I am today. She has been a great colleague and friend that has helped mentor me as I made the transition from the field to marketing. She was an excellent mentor in finding my “marketing voice” and helped me live less in the technical deep dive all the time.

Madhuri is an excellent strategist, full of energy, and possesses strong leadership skills. I’ve always valued her advice and mentorship during the time that I worked with her. She not only helped me with my professional development but also helped me grow on a personal level. She is very approachable, transparent and helped me understand the big picture goals. Her ability to motivate empowered me to speak up for myself and set realistic goals. I’ve learnt a lot just by watching her.
She has excellent relationships within cross functional teams which helped us establish processes and get the feedback necessary to develop the right strategy for the MSP program. She always empowered me to take ownership and was receptive to ideas and open to trying to do things differently. She was always generous with her time and struck the right balance between being involved and being hands-off.
She is an eloquent speaker and is passionate about diversity, inclusion and women in technology and has led numerous interviews with the VMware leadership team. I admire her passion for being so creative and using her talents to give back. Working with her has been pleasure and I hope our paths cross again!

Madhuri has domain expertise in B2B Product Marketing. I was supporting her for the product adoption and service enablement of a new SaaS service. She is a natural leader who is hard-working, efficient and effective. She knows when to provide guidelines and support, as well as when to hand-off and empower people to perform at their best. I attribute my success in leading the partner adoption acceleration program to Madhuri for her thoughtful leadership, great management style, and professionalism!

I have worked with Madhuri for a year in Walmart where she was playing the Agile PjM role. She is a quick learner and understood the technical details of the project. She was always proactive in keeping the stakeholders informed on the progress. She treats every member with respect and shows great professionalism. She has good understanding of the Agile project management methodologies and helped the team in transitioning from Waterfall to Agile. Her dedication and team spirit makes her a great asset to any team

Madhuri worked on a large SAP global implementation for Chevron as a master data coordinator for the OTC team. She joined the project at a very challenging time when data preparation and cleansing was a big hurdle. She was able to hit the road running and deliver quality results. Madhuri is an individual with incredible personal and professional integrity. Her dedication to the job at hand is remarkable and it gives me great pleasure in writing this recommendation for Madhuri.
