"The way she handle the critical situation of immigration with ease"

"I know Deepa as a colleague and a good friend for about a decade and have seen her grow in the area of Global Immigration from a mid-manager role to a senior position. In her previous tenures and in current capacity, she has constantly shown great industry acumen to bring significant changes to organization's immigration objectives. As a top brand in technology, our company has a very large workforce globally, with significant numbers (few thousands) available in North America. Her understanding of the subject, especially for US sector, has been exceptional that helped develop and continuously improve program policies and processes while maintaining up to date knowledge of immigration regulations and changes. She has been instrumental in conducting reviews of immigration data, processes and policies to identify gaps, draft policy and process revisions and ensure audit-readiness including maintaining necessary compliance to protect a brand. She has worked with business leaders at all levels to advise on policy creation internally and understanding of industry goals for smooth actioning. While advising on immigration best practices, she has always stayed up to date on immigration regulations. She has a good understanding of vendor management and to apply and achieve immigration objectives thereby regulating and optimizing given large budgets. She has been managing mid to large teams for best governance and has been exceptional with interpersonal skills. To the best of my knowledge, it is a significant task and she has done well overall. I have to say, without a bias, above all are skills and knowledge areas where especially being a Women contender is tough to achieve and compete but still remarkable achievements. She is among those who embrace collaboration being a women leader due to her ability as a pack leader - and know that their leadership skills come not only from their ability to manage others, but to inspire them to reach their set yet ever growing objectives. My current workplace has a very strong 'Diversity Equity Inclusion' program and Deepa is a staunch believer in this. She has exceled well as a Women leader under this program defining diversity, equity and inclusion goals in a senior role. I am sure she has a way forward due to her professional hunger, and would certainly progress to much higher capacity as a Women leader making family and friends proud. I have no qualms in recommending Deepa to any organization where Women in leadership role are sought or to nominate her to any related award categories in areas where female leaders play a crucial role in redefining the future. I am happy to have known her professionally for so long, and wish her good luck!"
