I have known Prabhu for many years. I have worked closely with him during my GE days.

I can say with utmost sincerity and confidence that he is one of the most knowledgeable, competent, and a deeply skilled professional in his area of expertise. For us, he was a go to guy, especially when there was a need to step up and take on new responsibilities. He connects well with rank and file, and is respectful and humble with others.

If there is an opportunity for him in my team, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit to hire him in my organization.

Himanshu Varshney

Senior Manager: Siemens

I had the opportunity to hire Prabu as an engineer and over decade and a half, see him grow upto roles of Senior engineering manager in GE.

He was part of GE Flagship HR Program to take up high demanding senior technical roles before his managerial career. I could witness a transformation from sincere and dependable person to someone who could handle high complexity global projects with large teams and do so with at most business focus and empathy.

His contributions on ISO process, connect with Manufacturing, Ability to push boundaries at work, influence and make things move in cross functional teams across continents are noteworthy.

I would highly recommend him and his work and wish the very best for his career!

Pramod Amancharla

Senior Engineering Manager: Baker Hughes

Prabhu comes across as a person who is well structured in his approach to a business problem. He is able to see beyond the immediate technical solution to the actual process running behind the scenes and then understand how an IT technical solution addresses that set of processes.

He was one of the key people engaged at Mercedes-Benz R&D India during the greenfield implementation of S4 and brought forward his experiences to the table which allowed the IT team to get a deeper understanding of the issues being faced and re-design their solutions accordingly. During his many detailed discussions with me on the business processes, he showed his ability to ask the right set of questions to fully understand the bigger picture and why something needed to work the way it worked.

A very patient person, Prabhu is a great to work with and I look forward to working with him again!
