Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Harish when he was leading the tech team at WeWork. Working with the team under Harish was delightful and super useful for my group. This was mainly due to the lean, efficient, and collaborative mindset Harish encouraged within his group. He is a no-Ego, result-oriented leader focused on making a real business impact.
I can say with no doubt that Harish was one of the key reasons this collaboration produced fast and effective results.
I would love to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

— Limor Segev, SVP Product

“I have worked with Harish as part of the startup community WeWork Greater China supports when he was head of engineering there. He was one of the “leading by example” tech leaders and a close ally to Ladies Who Tech, who really cared about bringing diversity into his tech team. He has also been very generous to ladies who tech by providing guidance and advice whenever we needed for tech directions.

Harish showed his strong support and interest in helping startups with social good cause to build a sustainable model by using technology. It’s not easy to build a tech product but it’s much more rare to have tech leaders have the long term vision and believe in building inclusive impact growth technology to support startup community like Ladies Who Tech.

We were able to build our first digital product with the help of him and his team in China. Ladies Who Tech is very fortunate to have advisor and ally like Harish. I highly suggest any startup that is looking for advisor, he will be the greatest asset to have.”

“Harish is a very energetic and empathetic engineering leader who is very passionate about team happiness and efficiency. He worked with me as WeWork Greater China’s head of engineering and was responsible for scaling the team up to 120+ people and I’ve no doubt that we would have reached our original goal of 300 without problem had IPO events not overtaken us. Harish is very good at attracting, recruiting & retaining top engineering talent. It was great to see him build a strong tech brand in Shanghai. He brought in the right agile processes to ensure product delivery while maintaining high quality. He helped me run the China Tech Team like a startup within WeWork, often playing the roles of a CTO and a COO without any problems. He’d be an asset to have in any leadership team, especially if it’s a team that needs to grow quickly and delivery high quality software products.”

— Dominic Penaloza, CEO, Peace

“Having worked with Harish across a few roles, I can’t recommend him enough as an engineer, software architect, leader, and mentor. Across Patch and Aol, and ultimately on the search team at Mapzen, he was always dedicated to whatever challenge came up and led the way on making the right technical decisions. We’ve kept in touch as he’s been at WeWork and it’s been great to see him grow into higher-level leadership roles. Hope we can work together again someday!”
