Testimonials

Eric Milgram
Director, R&D Enterprise Informatics
PepsiCo
Because of his knowledge of both western and Asian business practices, KK has a demonstrable ability to bring western products and services into untapped Asian/Pacific markets. When ACD/Labs was looking to expand its enterprise business into the Asia/Pacific markets, KK was valuable to help me understand company heirarchies and business pain points and their effect on value propositions from a cultural viewpoint that was often very different from that to which I was accustomed.
Furthermore, KK was an excellent liason between his customers and my product development group. He was very good at identifying business opportunities where slight modifications to existing product lines would enable us to secure significant deals. Also, I really appreciated the way KK struck an ideal balance between being an advocate for ACD/Labs and his customers. KK will be a great asset to anyone looking to expand into Asian/Pacific markets.

ACD Labs.
Director of Technical and Scientific Services Advanced Chemistry Development
KK efficiently managed the Asia & Pacific Region for ACD/Labs via his deep knowledge of the cheminformatics domain acquired from many years in the industry. He has an established network of people in the region and works hard to ensure that his customers obtain solutions according to their expectations. KK managed a group of distributors and direct employees in his region and was willing to travel to each of the countries to immerse himself in their cultures and learn first-hand the challenges of doing business in those countries. This provided him with deep insight into the issues associated with multicultural business.
KK was primarily responsible for all business development, marketing and sales in his territory but also performed the job of application scientist when necessary. This led to extreme work hours and multitasking and he willingly took on the challenges to grow the business.
KK is committed to the success of the company he works for, to the delivery of solutions to his customers and to his own growth. This has led to the successful establishment and then growth of business in Asia & Pacific Region.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with KK for the past four years. He is an extraordinary individual who is passionate about what he does and always puts 100% into accomplishing his goals. At the same time, he is a team player and an effective leader who has demonstrated that he can successfully make connections with, manage and mentor culturally and geographically diverse groups of individuals from around the world. He has had the responsibility over a number of distributors in countries such as China, and Australia in addition to his team within Asia Pacific. KK is able to function equally well in business and highly technical environments. He is very well connected with the scientific software market in the countries that he has responsibility over and, as Director of operations in Asia Pacific for ACD/Labs; he has done a great job of growing business for the company.
