Raj is a tremendous asset and contributor to any company that taps into his experience with human capital and principles of Lean Six Sigma. I was fortunate to have worked closely with Raj including my first 'value stream mapping' event and learned tremendously from his experience and practical application of his knowledge. An invaluable experience and time well spent with Raj for me and our OpEx team.

Raj is an outstanding executive coach and mentor, and an astute business enabler and strategic partner. The combination of his Lean-Six Sigma Master Black Belt expertise and extensive training and certifications in the field of Organizational Effectiveness provide the perfect link between people and processes in the pursuit of business transformation and world class performance. Raj is dedicated to the success of his clients, he is results oriented, and has a laser focus on execution; his coaching and facilitation style is thought provoking, his insight spot on, and his demeanor is such that he establishes trust and confidence very quickly. It has been a pleasure working with him, and I look forward to a continued successful partnership.

From organizational analysis or transformation implementation to building in organic self-driving culture to support changes, Raj provides a significant advantage in successfully meeting business objectives. I am fortunate to have a mentor who offers a wealth of industry knowledge and the patience to teach it. As a CLSSMBB, he mentored a team of BB's and BB projects and was always available for leadership and support to our teams. Raj led our team through analysis, design, and rollout of a companywide Lean Six sigma transformation across 83 sites nationwide. The project exceeded all expectations including an obvious shift in business culture and buy in. I am honored to recommend Raj with high regard as a 'go to' team member, business partner, and/or mentor for any institution.

I had the opportunity to work with Raj when he consulted Universal Hospital Services (UHS), on the company's operational excellence venture. I found Raj to be very savvy in helping companies set operational excellence strategies. He guided us to focus on the right things namely; culture and strategic alignment besides Lean Six sigma tools and systems. Raj's wealth of technical knowledge and ability to connect with people from the executives to field workers make him an exceptional coach. The impact of his help was in-valuable
