“I've had the privilege of working closely with Smita as a business partner at Autodesk, where she's consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and technical acumen. What truly sets her apart is her remarkable ability to navigate complex situations that needed legal help with poise and strategic thinking. I've watched her masterfully coordinate with our C-suite executives and senior leadership team, leading critical triage efforts during challenging periods with remarkable composure. What impresses me most is Smita's ability to thrive in ambiguous situations and under intense pressure. Whether dealing with critical system issues , tight deadlines, or strategic pivots, she consistently delivers results while maintaining her trademark positive attitude and supportive demeanor. Her approach to problem-solving is both methodical and innovative, keeping sight of both immediate needs and long-term strategic goals. Smita has a unique talent for building consensus among diverse stakeholders while ensuring excellence in our deliverables, and any organization would be fortunate to have her as a leader and partner.”
