MuckAI Girish

“Girish Muckai has an outstanding ability to understand the advanced technologies and laying out the vision on how customers can benefit from them. He laid out the detailed inbound product requirements roadmap as well as the outbound evangelization of the customers. He is well respected by employees and customers. He will be a great asset to have on the team.”

“Girish has a very keen understanding of the interplay between customers, engineering sales, and the role of a product manager in bringing products to the market in a timely manner with the required set of functionality that excites customers. This is all the more true in a start-up. His ability to bring together these groups and drive consensus has helped me, in my role as engineering manager and the company as well. His added strength of a deep and thorough understanding of technology and his ability to communicate this to his customers whether in layman's terms or in techno-speak, makes him an outstanding product manager. I have nothing but the highest regard for his abilities and recommend him highly.”

“Girish is an excellent worker and fast learner who can quiclkly learn new and existing technologies and integrate this knowledge into a wholistic view of the market. He has proved this over and over again in a number of roles. His market development work in India, product management role in Atoga, OEM management of Tejas, and business and product management roles in FMC are all areas of note. I highly recommend him.”

“Girish and I have worked together at both Westell and Atoga Systems. He is one of those rare people who is very intelligent in a number of areas, but is able to explain technology and its impact to companies and its customers in a fashion that is understandable to the audience, whether they are the most knowledgeable engineer, the CFO who only cares about the bottom line or a sales person who is trying to understand what it does for the customer. He has strategic insight that allows him to see beyond his own product or solution and has excellent communications skills that let him explain complex issues in a succinct, understandable way. He outlined and executed key strategic initiatives at Westell that opened new markets and many new customers. He has excellent relationships with telecom carriers, cable MSOs and wireless operators as well as partner companies worldwide. Girish has shown that he can effectively build and manage teams - he has outstanding leadership skills and motivates and grows his team members. When we were with customers, Girish has a way about him that won the trust of the customer. Beyond being very smart, he has integrity, a great work ethic, a great sense of humor and the ability to work with even difficult co-workers."”

“Girish is an incredibly talented person & has very broad experience within the telecom industry (as a service provider, as a startup telecom supplier, as a mature supplier) which helps make him an outstanding business development & marketing leader. Girish really understands the industry deeply from both a technical and business perspective. He appreciates what solution attributes are truly important to customers and he can effectively translate these needs into detailed product roadmaps. The unique thing with Girish is his ability to then assess the realistic business potential and perform detailed financial assessments of such programs. His assessment skills were applied not only to organic product programs at Westell, but also to potential partnerships & licensing arrangements to diversify our business. Girish is great with customers & given his experience can operate effectively with MSOs, wireline carriers as well as mobile network operators. His marketing leadership skills are outstanding & his credibility is unquestionable. He brings a positive up-beat attitude to every task at hand & would be a great asset to any marketing team.”

“Muckai Girish is a highly skilled business executive in the technology field. I enjoyed working directly for Girish in the fast-paced wireless telecom environment. I observed first-hand his ability to engage technology professionals throughout the ecosystem, drive new business initiatives, comprehend complex technical and business issues, and make quick but rational decisions.”

“Girish was leading our marketing group while I was in engineering. Girish was tasked to explore new markets for Westell. Girish brought new energy and perspective. He always was on the lookout for new ways to create sustainable and profitable revenue streams for the company. He is a good negotiator also and helped us get negotiate deals with vendors and customers. He has good knowledge of telecom/networking domain and emerging trends in these markets. I would love to work with him again.”

“Girish brings to the table effective leadership, strong work ethic and an incredible amount of energy and passion. His strong business acumen coupled with established relationships in the Telcom segment are key assets for developing new market / product opportunities or partnerships. Last but not least, as my manager, he always went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of adequately and had a sincere interest in helping me advance my career.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Muckai for some time and was able to see his professionalism and dedication. One of the best things about Muckai was he was always ready to do what needed to be done and open to look at new avenues if that resulted in more sales. I highly recommend Muckai and look forward to the chance of working again together in the future.”

“Girish always made it a priority to thoroughly understand the market and listen to the customers' needs. This combined with his deep technical knowledge and smart analytics contributed tremendously in providing product direction at Atoga and, after its acquisition, with Arris. Girish does not need any hand-holding and works independently to align with corporate goals. He was a quick wit, had a great sense of humor, got along really well with both his colleagues as well as our customers. I recommend him highly for any fast paced and dynamic business environment.”
