Hari Krishnan provided valuable consulting services for me about ten years ago. I implemented the detailed organizational plan that Hari designed and recommended. The business plan was very successful, and our business was able to scale considerably over a ten-year period. The design that Hari recommended is still in place today and our business unit continues to thrive. I am very grateful for Hari's wise counsel.

SVP American Express , USA, Role: Head of Business Strategy and Execution Division
Hari was a key member of my Global Business Transformation team that led large complex transformational initiatives across the company and was instrumental in driving change and delivering tangible savings to the bottom line. He played a lead role in multiple projects and delivered over $40M in savings through transforming processes to recapture lost travel supplier revenues, creating a sales force back office center of excellence and transforming the structure, processes, profile and delivery of direct mail services. I was always impressed by both his technical and soft skills. He has amazing resilience, ability to manage ambiguity and influence without authortity. I noted his ability to build strong relationships and trust with his clients. He is a strong and clear communicator and effectively and tactfully presents the current picture, opportunities and a vision for success. He moved comfortably between negotiable and non-negotiable terms and situations, allowing him to successfully renegotiate supplier terms and contracts as part of cost reduction and quality improvement goals in his projects. He is a great project manager and people leader and a pleasure to work with. I continue to follow Hari`s career and was thrilled to learn of his promotion to Director of Global Business Transformation last year, his success on more recent projects and the positive feedback I have heard on him from his clients. I look forward to working with Hari again in future endeavors.

I was particularly impressed with Hari's knowledge of learning and development philosophies, methods and practices. On the latter point Hari opened our eyes to an innovative virtual classroom method of delivering professional training to a global audience. We were all initially highly skeptical but Hari convinced us with well thought out argument, a clear articulation of the benefits and a very well organised demonstration. Hari also followed through with good planning and project management to ensure a successful pilot which has been followed with a successful launch into production. Hari also played an instrumental role in developing the training content proving he has in depth strength and experience.
Overall Hari has great skills, know-how, imagination and an ability to get things done in complex multi-national environments.

Hari is an outstanding professional with a great work ethic, solid logic, and an excellent ability to deconstruct and solve problems. I worked with Hari at big brand companies like Las Vegas Sands and Kodak, and he always provided top notch solutions. He has significant depth in the areas of IT, but he is much broader than that. Hari is a a quick study and through diligent research has been able to gain deep knowledge about numerous topics. He is a leader, always willing to step up to the plate and lead initiatives. I highly recommend Hari

On top of all that, Hari is a good guy, true professional...which, in my book, makes him a winner!

I have met with Hari when I was distressed at work. During our sessions, Hari encouraged me to openly discuss my professional issues and guided me to overcome them by providing me techniques to cope with stress and showing different point of views. His sessions have led to less stress and increased my effectiveness in the workplace. Through these sessions, I recognized my inner strengths, discovered my personal values and became a self-aware individual. With his guidance I have worked on finding the answers within myself and with this self-realization I made a successful career path change. I strongly value his coaching skills and I would highly recommend him as a professional coach
