We were a select bunch of Commonwealth Scholars from across number of Commonwealth countries invited at a meeting organised by Association of Commonwealth Universities and hosted by Queen Mother at Palace in London. I found Roopa an accomplished team player as well as an astute leader during the discussion. She held a great global and humanist perspective besides being a good singer! Those traits are evident as she is serving the humanity through various social organisations as well as she keeps her creative trait in having a wonderful 'food blog' bringing best of 'nutritious delicacies from rich resources of Indian-global kitchens' to the aid of 'fast moving moms and others
Roopa and I met at Katzenbach Partners in 1999 where she and I were consultants 5 and 6 respectivelyly. I had the opportunity to work with her several times over the next 4 years and have maintained contact as she rose to senior positions in HR at Pfizer and BlackRock.
Roopa is very thorough and detail oriented, but she has a very strong sense of people. She sees the emotional subtext of conversations as well as listens intently to what is said. She diligently studies business issues liike innovation and change nand integrat6es new ideas and concepts into her work.
I can highly recommend Roopa and would welcome any opportunity to work with her again
Roopa is a brilliant strategic thinker who can conceptualize and define entirely new opportunities. She has a keen mind for how organizations work, and knows how to chart a course from where she is to a transformational result. She's a rigorous judge of talent and a superb advisor. She has polish, flair, and can operate at the highest levels and in the most complex environments
I've worked with Roopa for many years, and have always known her as a smart, reliable, collaborative and highly ethical professional. Roopa has real expertise in a wide variety of functional areas, ranging from strategy to organization to HR to IT to social networking, and she tackles whatever she decides to take on with passion and dedication. I recommend her with no reservations
It was a pleasure working with Roopa. She consistently demonstrated professional excellence, depth of thought, and organizational understanding in each initiative we partnered in.
I've had the opportunity to work with Roopa several times - as a colleague at KPL, and as an independent contractor managed by her, working for a KPL client. In all cases I found her insightful and organized aathicnd very warm and empathic interpersonally. A great consultant and a very nice person!
I was fortunate to work with Roopa at KPL. I am endorsing her profile because Roopa is bright and energetic. She sees and understands the big picture very quickly. She guided the team through difficult times and kept her cool. She has the uncanny ability synthesize complex ideas into actionables, and she is not afraid to ask questions.
Roopa's great skill is in synthesizing information from many sources and from many points of view in real time and drawing out the key strategic message and purpose. Not only is she a great strategist who always brings a unique perspective to a business challenge, but she is an engaging facilitator. She never holds herself above her associates, and works in the trenches as comfortably as when she's leading a team
Roopa is an exceptionally bright individual who was presented with a very challenging assignment at Pfizer relating to increasing senior executive involvement in business technology. She was incredibly effective at building these relationships and transforming the way this group viewed technology.

I had the pleasure of working with Roopa in two organizations over the last three years. She is a dynamic visionary leader with a strategic focus. She understands organization dynamics, change management and talent development. Roopa has immense business acumen in both health care industry and financial services.
As a manager she holds her teams to a high standard and continuously supports development. Roopa operates with integrity and a genuine desire to improve the organizations where she works. I would absolutely work with and for Roopa again
Roopa possesses deep insight into how organizations function, developed through years of solving tough talent issues as both a consultant and a senior executive in the healthcare and financial services industries. She has a rare combination of skills that give her a special ability to help organizations function more effectively. On the one hand, she has the full
Roopa is one of the brightest and most business-savvy colleagues I have worked with in my career. She easily grasps the complexity of issues and organizations while making them accessible to all around her. She is clear in her vision and expectations of others, exercises excellent decision-making and is widely acclaimed as an outstanding leader. I observed these traits in her senior global role in the largest and most complex business unit at Pfizer.
As director of the Taraknath Das Foundation, I depend on the trustees for help and advice. None has served better than Roopa Unnikrishnan in doing the work of this small NGO. She has read all graduate student applications for grants for some years and given me advice on financial matters with speed and intelligence that is unusual, almost remarkable. I could not do the job I do without her assistance. And she always asks for more work to do, more assignments. I will never find someone comparable and am very happy to have her as a colleague.
Roopa is a great strategic thought partner, and was part of my journey as I set out my goals and transitioned to my new role at a new company. I recommend Roopa for anyone who is going through transitions and is looking for guidance (and more formal coaching).
