About

I am driven by determination. I strive to make products easier to use in order to deliver great customer experience. As a collaborative leader, I have built community organizations and run market-driven events with strong interpersonal and execution skills. Earning a Babson MBA, which ranks #1 for Entrepreneurship for 25 consecutive years, gave me an ability to think and act like an Entrepreneur even in a 10,000+ organization. With good business acumen, analytical abilities and leadership qualities, I take on challenges as opportunities. Having software development experience helps me gel well with Engineering teams to deliver fantastic products. Managing internal and external stakeholders to solve day-to-day problems has been my strength to overcome challenges and launch products on schedule. I can be reached at sreehitha.gudimella@gmail.com for Product Leader opportunities.
