Diverse Breadth Depth across a rare combination of skill-sets

LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/harsh 

Twitter: https://twitter.com/hjawharkar  

Intrapreneurial DNA and a rare ability to combine 3 mutually exclusive/distinct skill-sets, resulting in a repeat and proven

record of launching high-performing products and platforms – across web, mobile, and offline – that deliver remarkable

consumer experiences and tangible business value

Tenacity and organizational savvy to motivate multi-disciplined teams to take on and deliver audacious, “never been done

before” or “can’t be done” type of initiatives by leading from the front – being strategic and decisive yet shifting gears to roll up

the sleeves and hit the trenches to cleari obstacles whenever needed
