I go by GK and work for a a small business aerospace consulting firm in Nashville, TN. I have a front row seat
to the challenges of running and keeping a small business afloat. We have been a start-up for over 12 years!
and the past two plus years I am involved in a variety of business development activities in addition to leading the technical work.
The good part of working for a small business is that you
touch every aspect of it- from making the morning coffee to being involved in
marketing, sales, finance and the actual technical work, so every day is
different. The bad is the susceptibility of the firm to adverse business cycles
(like the recent recession). Small missteps have fairly severe repercussions.
We have beaten the odds to be successful, so the next logical step would be to
make the leap to the next level and how we go about making this transition.
In terms of my education, I completed all of my early
schooling in India and have an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering
from Bangalore University and a Masters in same from The Ohio State University.
On the personal front, I have been
married 8 years, we have a 3 year old girl and a 7 year old puppy! My free time is mostly spent ensuring the kids are sufficiently
tired! We are also avid travelers and half-marathoners.
