    Shareen Campbell - Sales Director (UK)

    Riya has a natural ability to put people at ease and provide intelligent, confident and experienced consulting to her clients. Her work at Demandware helped to increase the value of each client she supported due to her ability to understand both the customer experience and the technology requirements needed to drive addition revenue. She encompasses a thoughtful and professional manner that makes her both a strong voice to be trusted, as well as, approachable and relevant. I would welcomer the opportunity to work by her side again and can recommend her highly.

    Jennifer Cherrington Mowat - Ecommerce Director

    As the Demandware 'client partner' to Mothercare, Riya has proven to be a very diligent and insightful conduit to getting things done. Her knowledge of eCom and the technological developments happening out there are very useful and timely! I'm sure she will continue to exceed expectations.

    Ben Adams - Head of Group Development

    I worked closely with Riya on the Mothercare/Demandware engagement. Riya is one of a handful of people I have worked with that understands the fine balance between technical and business capabilities in eCommerce, and how to extract the most benefit from an eCommerce platform and align these benefits to overall strategy within a multichannel retailer. She is also a very personable character and great fun to work with. I look forward to crossing paths again in the future!

    Jeremy Annone - Senior Web Product Manager

    Riya brought with her a great deal of expertise about content management systems and website management to thomascook.com. She quickly identified the flaws in our legacy processes and suggested better solutions to the way we manage our website. She demonstrated excellent technical knowledge and had a great understanding of website management best practices and was never afraid to challenge flawed processes. Riya was a popular member of the team and we were sad to see her leave the company

    I have worked closely with Riya on a number of accounts and have always found her very professional and supportive. She is very articulate and during her time she built up a strong relationship between both teams.

    Joyce M.K. Tai - Snr Director Client Development APAC

    When it comes to online operations, store and client mgmt, Riya is one of the best, if not the best. Anyone who works in eCom business understands and appreciates the complexity of operations – it’s literally owning a store that opens 24/7, and things to look after include but not limited to products, price, content, analytics, fulfillment, downloads, technology, and of course the traditional 4Ps or 4Cs. Anyone who’s worked with Riya sleeps better days and nights because Riya is looking after the store. From hands-on “just-do-it” to project mgmt, team mgmt, process mgmt, Riya gets it. I welcome any opportunity to work with Riya again. She is the best.

    Riya is an extremely professional and well liked individual. Her rapour with team members and clients was something that I witnessed first hand and I was very impressed with her.

    Riya and I only worked together on a few small projects but when we did work together we had a great relationship. We could help each other out to try and get the specific job and find solutions to the problems we would encounter quite easily.

A tremendous asset to the organisation.

    Brendan Manohan - Director, WW E-commerce Sales

    I started working with Riya in January 2008 and was impressed with her communication style and results orientated focus. Without her guidance on how to increase online sales in the EMEA marketplace, I'm 100% positive that we would not have achieved the 29% year-over-year growth ($1.45 million) we achieved in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. When minor issues did come up, she handled them very promptly and professionally. I would gladly work with her again.

    Riya is one of the most efficient, hard-working and correct people I know. She's always on top of her game; in fact, she's one of those people that can make things happen that others thought impossible, and in doing so she CREATES the game. In one word: powerhouse.

    Riya is also cool to hang around with, and she takes care of her clients the same way she takes care of business: confident, competent and silky smooth.

    Riya Jadhav was with Aptec when it was established in Dubai with business plan for growth in the middle east with best of the brands. She was sincere, hardworking, patient enough to go through the ordeals of any seed company which has just put its foot in new market. I had found her dutiful and responsible enough to grow for much bigger role.

    God bless in all her future endeavours.
