Discover the impact of Archana's expertise through the voices of peers and professionals who have witnessed her transformative influence in AI, ML, and tech diversity

  • Joey Rosenberg

    President, Women Who Code

    Archana is an inspirational business and community leader who offers a unique blend of technical and business skills. I am continuously impressed by her ability to glean thoughtful insights through data, think outside the box to solve challenges, and work cross-functionally with teams across the organization to support big-picture thinking. She is genuinely delightful to work with, full of energy, and always prepared for a challenge. Highly recommend!

    We have worked alongside each other as Fellows at Women Who Code for some time, but this was our first opportunity to really build and execute a project together. I was particularly impressed by Archana's high level of technical proficiency, and her depth of technical knowledge. Further, her teaching style invites learners in to engage and ask questions. No matter the time of day, Archana shows up with a smile and a huge bucket of enthusiasm. Archana is certainly an asset to any team lucky enough to have her.

  • Sheralynn Tijoe

    Associate Director - Recruitment

    Have known Archana for quite some time and she sparks off as a very postive and engaging individual. What impresses me about Archana is her love for the Technology/Women in Technology community where she volunteers and helps out at a lot of external events on top of her day job. She has a lot of passion for Technology and is inspiring in the ways that she goes above and beyond. She would be a lovely addition to any firms she joins and any firm would be lucky to have her!
