"I had the pleasure of working with Taj during a business plan competition. Within a very short period of time, it was clear that Taj has a keen understanding of industry trends, and is able to translate these trends into actionable plans for organizations. His interests in the future of media, and his deep knowledge in this area, proved extremely beneficial, as we went on to be finalists in the competition. Taj represents innovation and professionalism, and I hope to work with him again in the future."   — Justin Lewis, Classmate   "Taj and I worked together on the Customer Marketing team at Google and he always had great ideas and the will to push them through. Our team was always understaffed and Taj had to play a number of roles - creating materials, running experiments, evaluating numbers - and always having time to help out his teammates. Taj is a great team member and a creative, smart addition to any team."   — Amanda Kelly, Colleague   "It was a distinct pleasure to manage Taj in his capacity as a Graduate Fellow in the MBA Admissions Office at NYU Stern. I knew I could always count on him to be collaborative, friendly, and calm under pressure-- whether he was working one-on-one with a prospective student or leading a large tour group around the building. From day one, Taj impressed me with his rare combination of empathy, confidence, and industry savvy, all of which made him an excellent ambassador for Stern. By the time he graduates, he will have left an indelible imprint on the incoming Class of 2015. I know I speak for the rest of my former colleagues in the Admissions Office when I say he was an invaluable addition to the team."   — James Kingham, Supervisor
