"In 2016, Raj and I collaborated to launch the Rising Star Certificate, an in-house leadership development program based on the principles of lifelong learning. In 2024 we launched HBH’s fourth cohort of this program: delivery is hybrid, participants enjoy the convenience of building skills while bonding with like-minded members of a cohort that includes managers from all HBH businesses. Our first three cohorts of Rising Stars took on new leadership responsibilities with amazing speed, some have already earned top management positions. If you want to build a robust pipeline of leadership talent for your business, I have no hesitation in saying, 'Raj delivers'."  

Scott Anderson

President, HBH Holdings Inc.

I was referred to Dr. Kamath by a trusted member of my Goering Center roundtable group. From the initial introductory phone call throughout the entire process, Raj  has been  like a breath of fresh air – invigorating and bursting with energy. He intentionally took the time and made the effort to ask  questions (and most importantly listen for the answers)  while he studied our business and the markets we serve. He led us through a fast and simple process that included perspectives from every member of our leadership team while leaving us with an action plan and the tools we can use to maintain our momentum and adjust as things change. As an added value of this experience, we now enjoy a higher-level of bonding between the members of our leadership team, a renewed engagement and alignment with our owners and a more intense focus on new growth opportunities. I can confidently provide my recommendation to work with Rajan if you lead a private business and are looking to create with an actionable plan for growth. Raj is an expert and a trusted resource that you simply should not ignore.

We connected with Raj when our leadership team was gearing up to execute strategy. Raj gave us a fact-based peek at the future business landscape, the “new normal”. We had our share of pandemic-related turbulence, but we stayed focused on our goals. When you need to focus on execution, Raj gets the job done.

Dr. Kamath came highly recommended from business owners that I trust.  A major factor in our selecting him as strategy consultant in 2019 was his career experience. Raj customized everything - group sizes, frequency & duration of meetings, terminology, and the format of our final product – to suit our company’s particular needs and vernacular.  Raj’s effort to accommodate us without compromising the rigor of his process was a key to our collective success and satisfaction.

To put it simply, Artesiaa has been very effective.”

Artesiaa's facilitators are  highly skilled at helping the group apply concepts to their individual situations. -Steve Hartman, Director of Organizational Effectiveness, Health Alliance.

 

Rajan is superb!   He has insight into the working of a large variety of organizations and I love the interaction he generates in the seminar.

Since we worked with Rajan and Artesiaa Consulting on execution I have seen higher quality results delivered more consistently than ever before.

Rajan’s facilitation is brilliant.

Jim Formal

CEO, Maple Knoll Communities.

 

Rajan communicates complex strategic challenges with simplicity and verve.  Rajan brings his deep knowledge of strategy and his skilled delivery to each keynote.  Most importantly he is able to listen carefully to our objectives and customize his content so that each member of the audience walks away with a clear action plan.  I have no hesitation in recommending Rajan as keynote speaker on strategy for your conference.

Gregg Goodner

I have no hesitation in recommending Artesiaa as a strategy consultant.  Every time we have worked with Artesiaa, the return on investment has been phenomenal and our senior managers have gone back to work refreshed and invigorated by the workshop experience.  Forty of our senior managers, with Dr. Kamath's and Dr Apana's help, engaged in an effort which has led to the creation of a new product line that promises to re-invent the textbook as we know it today.

Ed Moura

Executive Vice President, Cengage Learning

 

In every session that Artesiaa delivered to our executive team he demonstrated his gift for understanding the needs of his audience and delivering a message that left every member of the audience with a meaningful action plan.  When it comes to strategic tools – from fact-based decisions to the challenge of execution – Atesiaa has the best facilitators I have seen.

Tom Fiorini

CEO Cincinnati Sports Club

 

Artesiaa has worked with the Private Banking Group of Bancomer to design and deliver a workshop aimed at uncovering new and innovative ways to serve the client.  Rajan did a terrific job: Bancomer teams came up with great sets of ideas.  Bancomer’s Product Development group is currently working on implementing these ideas.  Rajan’s work on developing value propositions for the client has helped Bancomer incubate the new Banca Patrimonial culture which will help us compete more effectively.  We have no hesitation in recommending Artesiaa  highly for the design and delivery of workshops on strategy.

While I directed leadership and OD at LANXESS Corporation, Rajan provided a core content segment of an executive development program for our flagship program. I found Rajan to be unique in his ability to relate deep subject matter knowledge while working alongside executives to assist them in bringing the learning directly to practical application. He is professional and personable, and his understanding of strategy always stays connected to the reality of producing results.-
