I’ve had the pleasure of receiving mentorship from Ruban over the years, from leadership development, go to market, business development strategy, culture, and technology. The one thing you will appreciate about Ruban is that he is a first principles thinker; he has both breadth and depth. As no two problems are ever same, what I appreciate most about Ruban is that he will work with you to understand your specific context. I have tremendous respect for his experience, expertise and gratitude for how he had helped Knowledgehook thus far.

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Ruban, a colleague I have had the privilege of working with for over 15 years. Ruban is an outstanding ASIC and system design expert who has consistently impressed me with his deep technical knowledge and ability to solve complex problems with ease. He has an innate talent for breaking down complex technical concepts into easily understandable terms, and his patient and approachable manner make him an ideal mentor for anyone seeking to improve their skills. I have had the privilege of working closely with Ruban on numerous programs where his technical expertise and strategic thinking were instrumental to their success. He is an asset to any team he works with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a deeply technical and inspiring leader.

Hardware Systems
I met Ruban through an acquisition by HGST of Virident Systems where he was a founder and VP of Engineering. Ruban has that unique blend of commercial understanding, coupled with technical acumen that created a credible path into the C-suite of our customers. With the help and guidance from Ruban, our sales teams were able to craft specific account plans and strategies to elevate our position in the target account from the noise makers to the decision makers, in both the engineering and management. This capability was incredibly useful when we were building sales plans and allocating resources in our channel, CSP and OEM engagements. Ruban remains one of our most valuable assets in the go to market engine at WDC. I give Ruban my highest rating.
John Collins
VP of Marketing and Business Development
I have built two companies, yet I turn to Ruban for advice on many things related to company building. His experience and wisdom, including early team building, scaling a start-up, building the company culture is unmatched that you can't even find on management books. Ruban is very practical in the ways he thinks about company building. If you ever need a mentor or an advisor for your start-up, I'd highly recommend Ruban. You won't be disappointed.

Co-Founder and President
I highly recommend Ruban as a startup mentor and guru. During our time working together, he has proven to be an invaluable resource, providing expert guidance and support that has helped us take our startup to the next level. Ruban has a wealth of experience in the technology and startup worlds, having worked with numerous successful companies in various industries. He has a deep understanding of what it takes to build a successful startup and has been able to offer us invaluable advice on everything from fundraising and marketing to product development and team building. I am confident that he can provide the same level of support and guidance to any other startup lucky enough to work with him.

CEO
I had the pleasure to work with Ruban where we met at a start up that was later acquired by Western Digital Corporation. I knew early on that Ruban would be a great mentor and trusted advisor because of his vast experience in Silicon Valley, leadership qualities, and consultative approach. Over the 10 years we worked together we accomplished so much for our clients by solving important business challenges related to growth and scale. Lastly, we have become good friends and I look forward to having the opportunity to work with him again.
