The call with Ameet was extremely insightful. He gave us a good overview of what to expect with our development agency, how to think about building a solid mobile product and things to monitor post-launch. Highly recommended.

Ameet was very knowledgeable and provided some straight forward advice that was greatly needed. Frankly he has provided the best advice I have received since I have been working on this project. I look to talk to him again in the future.

Very helpful regarding mobile app development. He answered our questions and offered tips that would have never occurred to us. Very forthcoming and made great use of the time we had. We would definitely use Ammet Shah again for questions re: mobile app development.

Ameet was super helpful in terms of clarifying on how to define metrics and analyze them to find out the real pulse of a venture. He had interesting insights in how to add gamification features into the app building process.

Ameet Shah worked for me at Tira Wireless for close to two years. He was the main technical resource for the sales organization. He combines a strong engineering background and quick understanding of technology with very good customer and people interaction skills. He is very smart, quick learner, pays attention to detail and has innate leadership skills. He was instrumental in managing all aspects or selling to and supporting our strategic customers. I promoted Ameet twice and it was fun to see him develop so quickly into a major contributor to not just the sales organization but to the senior management team and the whole company. I strongly recommend him. Juan Dewar, SVP Sales and CEO at Tira Wireless

I can't say enough good things about Ameet Shah, not only as a professional and former co-worker, but as a person. Ameet is smart, articulate and a joy to work with. He has razor sharp insights into high tech and mobile markets on a real, practical, results-oriented level. As a customer facing sales professional, he knows how to take products and technologies and make them relevant to revenue generating opportunities. I saw him do it many times to the advantage of the company we worked at together. Ameet is also trustworthy. He is simply a decent person with a high level of integrity and you can do business with him with a great level of confidence.

Ameet is one of those rare individuals gifted with the ability to distill complex technological concepts into jargon that non-technical decision makers can understand and act upon. His engineering background serves him well in pursuit of technology sales and business development, as does his engaging personality. Add to that his ability to juggle numerous projects while delivering quality results and you have an excellent asset to any organization.

Ameet managed our account at Tira Wireless and helped meeting deadlines to customer satisfaction. Ameet is very committed and contributed significantly to our business with his knowledge, understanding and experience of the mobile market.

Ameet has been instrumental to our activities over the past year. I met him at BREW 2007, and he cultivated the relationship from there. He displays a high level of commitment and honesty, and has communicated effectively throughout our partnership. He is a good guy to know in the mobile world.

Michael Iams Source: LinkedIn

Ameet brings a unique mix of technical expertise and business common sense to account management and new business development. His interpersonal skills distinguish him from others in similar positions and his ability to "dive deep" technically have few, if any, limitations. Customers, partners and employers get a technical leader and a character individual to work with in Ameet.

Gord Wade Source: LinkedIn

I had the pleasure of working with Ameet at Tira Wireless as we delivered application porting solutions to our mobile clients. Ameet is an enthusiastic and personable individual with a balance of strong technical background and professional manner, quickly understanding the capabilities of new technologies and how they can be best applied to the mobile market.
