43: 4 Decades in 2 Phases
Episode: 4 decades in 2 phases
Sub title: Consultant to Implementer
In this conversation Sivaguru from PM Power Consulting is in conversation with his old friend Neelu (PK Neelakantan). Listen to their conversation as Neelu talks about:
Two significant phases of his career
Playing software development and business development roles
A major personal decision to move base from India to the US
An urge to do something on his own
About losing the job at the time of the dot com bust
About an environment where programmers were younger than the programs they were working on
Some challenges in managing knowledge workers
Literally jumping into a data lake!
Assigning a monetary value for software, for a buyer
Some challenges in concluding a sale of a platform product
What you tell demanding users
Resisting the urge to do it yourself and letting team members learn by doing
Handling things beyond your control
Managerial style of doing together and inspiring
Earning the team’s trust by adding value in all interactions
And not being able to please everyone all the time
Neelu has about four decades of experience in software development having worked with organizations in India and the United States in different capacities. He lives in San Diego where he works at the San Diego Community College District as their Application Development Manager overseeing the student administration systems.
