We brought in Sandeep as part of the new Customer Marketing team at Pure Storage to help better support the Sales team with voice of the customers, customer references, testimonials and reviews, and a loyalty program. This work helped humanize the brand, built credibility, influenced pipeline, and helped decrease sales cycle times. Sandeep brings a unique combination of strategy and execution, and the ability to better align marketing initiatives to address the top sales priorities.

Customer advocate evangelist, laser focused on hyper-efficient customer advocate program management.
We work with many customer marketing program leaders. Sandeep stands out for his attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and proactive approach---anticipating and planning before things happen. He has great empathy for his stakeholders. In this case, making sure salespeople have what they need in terms of social proof "assets" (advocates and customer stories), and a friction-less user experience. He has an incredible work ethic. And while he is great at executing on tactics, he does that within the contest of the overarching strategy, which he is totally capable of formulating. He's uniquely gifted in that respect. Great team player, works well across departments and builds relationships easily. Sandeep is a true gem.

Strategic Alliances and Business Transformation leader driving global innovation and growth | ex-AWS | ex-Cisco
Sandeep was a part of my organization in Services Operations at Cisco. During this period he led multiple projects all related to setting strategy and direction for the group. He did an outstanding job assuring that all decisions were based on facts and was able to take a holistic view of the business. This end to end view was vitally important to the team as the complexity of the business was growing exponentially year over year due to the inclusion of new business models, products, and partner relationships. I would happy to recommend Sandeep for any role involving strategy creation, operational efficiency, and go-to-market development.
