        Would I recommend, Aanchal? Of course! She's amazing. Just look at Aanchal's growth during her tenure at Upwork. It's no joke. Her hard earned rocket ride up the ladder of influence is no surprise for all who have a chance to work with her.

She's a talented design thinker - She knows the tools and has the design chops to use them effectively. Full stop. She's a maker at heart.
She's diplomatic - Even in tough situations, Aanchal carried a level of professionalism all would aspire to. Her earnest style built trust with everyone inside and outside our org. Like, she was an IC and a design manager across 7 product managers at one point, and she carried herself with grace and poise through it all.
She's disciplined - Aanchal brought commitment and grit to challenges. Like, each of our 1:1s were focused and intentional.
She acts on what she learns - Was she coaching me or was I coaching her? Like, she pushed through initial PM resistance to agile practices. She was able to established regular workflow cadences, and returned to our 1:1s with insights she was learning along the way. 

I would jump at the opportunity to work with Aanchal again. Jared Howe
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Aanchal is smart, focused, and truly one of the most caring persons who I've had the pleasure to work with. She demonstrates passion for high quality work and having an impact. Aanchal is also a forward-thinking problem solver with great ideas about improving systems and procedures. She is very creative in crafting solutions to problems, and in generating new ideas. She is a fantastic project manager and strategist.
