“Rohan’s ability to genuinely understand people makes him such an effective mentor and coach. He's helped me navigate the progression from entry level software engineering to becoming a product leader in different industries, all while instilling core interpersonal and leadership qualities. We've focused on tangible skills like strategy and management as well as conceptual ideas like working with stakeholders in a rapid-growth environment, and so much more. Rohan brings a personal, tailored approach when giving advice which turns a professional engagement into a lifelong friendship that I think every leader could benefit from.”

“Rohan volunteered as a speaker during the PGA Merchandise Show for a Social Media Panel to help the golf industry. He was an excellent speaker and panelist who engaged our audience and had a lot of valuable advice for the golf professionals attending. He especially did great making a complex subject matter simple for a group who were new to using social media.”

“Our conversations were insightful and enjoyed picking his brain on topics from general product development, venture and the startup scene, and finally pursuing a PhD program in a technical role. Our chats certainly provided me with a new perspective and I'm happy to say that my career is off to a great start. Over the past couple of years I've grown considerably in my role as a technologist and a lead on certain initiatives. I've learned how to grow technically and think strategically on how to deliver value to my team, and I am thankful for Rohan's mentorship along the way.”
“Rohan’s lecture in the Product Management course was both illuminating and engaging. In addition to providing tips, tricks, and useful hacks that Rohan learned over his many years in BD, the lecture also explored select case studies to show advanced tactics and strategies. These 'hairy deals' provided excellent insight into how industry professionals solved the unique challenges they faced in specific, real-world circumstances.”
“Rohan has supported me through multiple difficult transitions including how to break into Silicon Valley and interview preparation for a Business Development role. He not only gave me the confidence, but provided me with the tools to be best prepared for the role. I’ve leaned on him many times and will continue to do so throughout my life and career.”
“As a guest speaker in my product management class, Rohan has a crisp presentation and great interaction with the students. He’s able to get the fundamentals across to the combination of technical and non-technical students. His range of dealmaking experience provides great insights in how to make deals that create great product experiences and meaningful distribution for everyone involved. He is great to work with and easy to learn from.”
“I engaged with Rohan to devise and moderate the “IPN West - Silicon Valley VC Roundtable” alongside prominent Venture Capital professionals from firms such as Sapphire Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners and New Enterprise Associates. Leveraging his deep BD and M&A experience in the consumer tech space, he was uniquely positioned to curate an engaging discussion on entrepreneurship, investment and funding strategies and consumer internet trends with several other industry leaders. The audience particularly enjoyed the interactivity of the panel.”

“Rohan has been a trusted advisor as I elevate my career into senior leadership roles. A few years back, Rohan was instrumental in helping me transition into the tech industry. He took time to understand my background and aspirations, and later helped me navigate target roles and companies, prepare for interviews and discussions, and has been a sounding board for my career journey since.“
“I highly recommend Rohan. When I was looking to change careers, he made the time to speak with me and provided effective and actionable advice to help meet my goals. Specifically, he’s incredibly knowledgeable, but I found his methods more impressive. He has a positive approach highlighting one’s capabilities and strengths as opposed to the barriers an individual needs to overcome. It is natural to be overwhelmed by what may seem like insurmountable challenges, but Rohan empowered me and shifted my focus to my strengths.”
