Amit was a new addition to LawPivot, so the impact that he made when he joined is quite apparent.

Amit added a sense of science & data-driven analytics to our product decision-making that I wished we had had since the birth of LawPivot. It's easy to admire his passion for creating products, but also the care with which he takes to cultivate an idea, execute it, and tweak it to get it just right.

Amit also brought a lot of business skills & mature business concepts to a young start-up. After he joined, we refined the ways that we would approach tackling product decisions, and evolved our team dynamic - all for the better.

Amit is a knowledgeable and savvy marketing professional. While working with him, I was very impressed with his search engine optimization skills in optimizing our company website and managing our online marketing campaigns. In addition, he spearheaded the development of many of our website feature, essentially taking on the role as a product manager in many cases. He is a great product manager who is able to drive the product development process by being methodical and being very easy to work with. Amit is a great asset to the team.

Amit had a major and positive impact on LawPivot's internal operations the day he walked in the door. He very quickly settled into his combined role as Product Manager and marketing expert and did an admirable job of organizing and streamlining our product management process, particularly at the critical and thorny point of translation from high-level business idea to implementable specifications.

Our product design methodology involved extremely rapid turnaround and iteration - it would not have been possible without Amit and the qualities he brought to the table. Firstly, Amit's previous experience in working closely with engineering teams smoothed the conceptual divide from business concept to implementation scheduling; the intra-company cultural divide between engineering and sales can be a lethal one, and you will always need someone who can work across that aisle. Furthermore, he's good at scaling a project according to the time and actual resources available - an essential, yet frequently underrated skill. Success requires locating the intersection of ambition and feasibility, and Amit can help you find it.
