What people are saying

        Div is an excellent instructor. I had the recent pleasure of being a student in a Product Marketer Upskilling course she led. Her knowledge of the subject material and ability to convey it in a clear and concise manner was outstanding. Her pace and balance with breakouts, class participation kept the class engaging.

        When Div joined the PMM team, I was excited to not only hire a talented product marketer but someone who had real passion for the role and could help uplevel the entire team. Div brought best practices and templates to help the team standardize on GTM presentations, product launches, messaging frameworks, etc.

        Div was amazing at adding value to my students at North Carolina State University. As a guest speaker/facilitator, she was invited to two of my public speaking classes where she spoke to almost 50 students. She was thorough and detailed in explaining concepts and utilized real-time examples that students resonated with.

        From the first time I spoke with Div, I noticed that she wasn't the same as other Directors with whom I had regular interactions. Div inspires a level of confidence and peacefulness that is not common in the "Global 500" corporate world, and she wears her humanity on her sleeve with pride. Her ideas have helped me improve my hiring practices.
