Below are some testimonials from individuals whom I have worked with:
Sofio Gachechiladze | Head of Product and UX, commercetools
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Rahul, Head of Product Strategy and Operations at commercetools. He was instrumental in elevating our product organization during a critical growth phase.
Rahul excelled at setting up, automating, optimizing, and scaling internal operations. He played a key role in defining and operationalizing how we work today, which significantly improved efficiency and decision-making across the product team.
He also brought strong strategic clarity to defining and executing the critical elements when building AI-native products and organizations. His contributions helped us strengthen our overall product portfolio strategy.
Rahul combines deep operational excellence with a forward-thinking approach to AI and product strategy. He is highly collaborative, organized, and always focused on creating sustainable systems that empower teams to deliver better outcomes.
I highly recommend Rahul for any Product Leadership role. He would be a tremendous asset to any organization looking to build or scale modern, AI-powered product capabilities.”
Esra Erciyas | Senior Product Manager, commercetools
“Having worked closely with Rahul at commercetools, I can confidently say he is a driving force when it comes to leading product strategy and operations. He completely redefined and operationalized our way of working, seamlessly shifting us into a more effective, product-led organization. I was particularly impressed by his ability to build out our product portfolio.
If you need a leader who knows exactly how to define, execute, and scale critical product frameworks, Rahul is the absolute best person for the job.”
Eoin Cannon | Enterprise Coach, Upwelling
“Rahul is a great coach, a genuine leader in Product thinking, and someone who understands how this really works in organisations. His deep understanding of growth motions and a product-focused approach really helped me move from solution-focused sprints to longer-term enterprise-level work. His experience inside a series of organisations informed the work we did.”
Adnan Aslam | VP Engineering, Hunger Station
“Rahul led his unit to adopt a product-led sales motion to primarily help Product and Sales work together to make clear data-informed GTM decisions for product growth. This allowed us to better target ICPs and help them realize value as early as possible. Additionally, Rahul is passionate about coaching first-time managers and directors on product development topics from discovery and delivery to strategy and goals formulation and implementation.”
Veronica Stroever | Game Producer, Tales of Us
“Rahul’s workshops were integral in helping organise our company’s work structure and goals. He educated each team on Kanban boards and how to set realistic milestones and tasks. We can confidently define what success looks like thanks to him. When we were mapping out the company’s 5-year plan, Rahul managed to cater each workshop to our needs by allowing for more time when we were stuck on something, and following up on tasks after each workshop. It’s important to note that Rahul’s tone of voice, communication skills, and patience are unparalleled. Personally, Rahul also coached me on how to be a better interviewer with job candidates and I’m very grateful!”
Benjamin Breuner | Product Lead, Delivery Hero
“Rahul really helped us to improve our sprint review process. Based on his support, we implemented a new sprint review that focused on outcomes, KPIs, and objectives. Both our dev team and leadership were much happier with this format.
Rahul also helped on the product side, advising on product discovery practices and methodologies which came at a very critical time as we were in the midst of a large product discovery process. We created a product discovery board in Miro based on Rahul’s suggestions that proved to be a valuable repository for key information throughout our process.
A lot of Rahul’s suggestions on making our practice more objective and KPI oriented was really helpful. We started having a sprint goal for each sprint which really helped the team rally around the big goals we’re achieving each sprint. We had a much better sprint review process. Generally, everyone felt more confident in our ability to discover, estimate, and review our work.”
Anna Maria Alongi | Admissions Manager, Spiced Academy
“Rahul’s workshop on Scrum Fundamentals is very well structured, fun and interactive! The exercises, breakout room activities and short breaks were perfect to keep everyone focused and interacting, even fully online. Rahul is a great public speaker & presenter as well- everything was understandable and clear. I like that he spoke slowly and left time for questions. I would highly recommend his workshop, for anyone trying to get an overview on Scrum/Agile Fundamentals.”
