“At Magento Bhushan not only helped his team grow, he encouraged others to grow as well. Bhushan helped me see my own potential and motivated me to pursue new opportunities at Magento. ”

“I brought Bhushan in to Magento to help architect and build out our sales operation's functions at Magento. He was instrumental in putting operational process and procedure in place for all our customer facing teams. He is an analytical thinker, team player with a strong work ethic. Bhushan played an extremely significant part in helping our Field Operations team evolve into an extremely effective unit. He is and would be a valuable asset to any field support or operations team.”

“I have been working with Bhushan at Magento on the Sales Operations team for the past 2 and half years. Sales Operations as a department was in the beginning stages when Bhushan joined Magento and the team has benefited from the experience and background he brought to help grow and scale the Sales Operations team. This was necessary to support a continuously growing global sales and success teams. On a personal level, Bhushan has been very supportive to my career development and a good mentor as a manager. He was honest in his feedback and that was appreciated. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Bhushan at Seagate Technology. He is a hardworking and talented individual. He has great hands-on experience in Salesforce.com, Tableau, Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), SAP BusinessObjects (BOBJ), MS Excel, MS Access, SQL, Variance Analysis, Trends, Online Price Intelligence, and Deal Analytics. Bhushan has good discipline and focus when it comes to managing operations. On a number of occasions, Bhushan worked cross-functionally with Sales (always), Marketing, Finance, and Pricing to implement efficient business processes. Some of the notable projects he implemented include: 1) Tableau dashboards to understand weekly trends for revenue plan vs forecast vs actuals by geographies and customers 2) Deal Tracker management with data consolidation and transformation from various sources such as EDW, excel and Vendavo, 3) Zyme Online Price Monitoring tool implementation for street price tracking (competitive intelligence), 4) Rebate Eligibility Application and Reporting for Partners in Salesforce.com with direct integration with Seagate Partner Portal, 5) Retail price setting business process, and 6) several Vendavo enhancements.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Bhushan on a pretty major pricing analytics project, which spanned a number of quarters. I've worked with many analysts in my time at Seagate, and Bhushan was definitely one of the best. He was always prepared, very thorough, asked good questions and was a self-learner. The quality of my interactions with him was matched by the quality of the analysis he produced; very insightful, nimble-minded and always cognizant of the user community he was preparing the analysis for (e.g. executives vs. front-line pricing managers). I highly recommend Bhushan for any analytical position he applies for.”

“I remember Bhushan as an excellent teacher who brought tremendous enthusiasm and energy to my capstone design class at Michigan State. I was thankful to have him because he showed a deep interest in all of the students and was patient in teaching us about material properties. Bhushan is quite intelligent, but also has a great way with people and I know that these skills will take him far in his career.”

“Bhushan is a conscientious worker with a keen eye for technical details. His attention to detail, sense of personal ownership, and outstanding team skills make him a pleasure to work with.”
