Moderation

Sanjog continues to impress me with his clear vision for making a positive impact on the world around him. This “centering” is what makes him such an engaging and effective moderator for a wide variety of audiences and panels. His inclusive style draws others into this common ground, where he prompts his panel and audience with thought-provoking questions and insights.

Glenn Kapetansky

I have had the distinct opportunity to attend multiple CIO Symposiums hosted by Sanjog. Sanjog hosted the symposium well is an understatement! He had great command on the room with his personable attitude, kept the panelist on track with his laser focused agenda and made some very mundane topics super interesting and interactive.

Director Infrastructure, Ops & Engineering, Sears Holding Corporation

We worked with Sanjog and his team for a recent event focused on Enterprise Data… Sanjog was even more dynamic and energetic than I imagined he would be. He roamed the audience and solicited the attendees for input and comments throughout the hour-long session. Based on the answers I could swear that everyone had been prepped in advance, but the truth was that Sanjog’s style just elicited the best responses from the people in the audience. He got them really engaged in the discussion and it was one of the most exciting panel sessions we’ve ever run.

Tony Shaw

CEO and Founder, Dataversity

Sanjog was able to bring concise understanding to some local business leaders that we were presenting to at one of our technology functions. He has the ability to relate to people and technology in a very unassuming and down to earth way. This allows attendees to let their guard down and speak freely about the business. We were happy to work with him and would recommend highly to any group looking to reach an audience.

David Blum

Sanjog consistently attracts talented and interesting people to discuss relevant topics that we all face as business leaders.

I am so happy that Sanjog took charge of moderating Technology Panel at Technology Innovation Summit (TIS) 2013. This was a tough panel with powerful panelists like CIO of City of Chicago, and Cook County Circuit board Clerk. Sanjog’s very lively yet focused approach engaged all the panelists as well as audience and discussing all the points towards building topic. His working the room approach is unlike any moderator that I have seen in the past. I would love to have Sanjog moderate future panels for TIS.

Sanjog did a great job working not just the panelists, but engaging the attendees as well. Simultaneously, we worked through all the appropriate topics outlined and committed to be discussed.

I know Sanjog for few years now and I have always found him inspiring and motivating. With his rich experience and analytical thinking he can see through complicated issues and provide simple explanation to them. He has steered my thought process during engrossing though brief discussions we had during traveling together. I am thankful to you.

Sanjog is not only a seasoned and talented entrepreneur and leader, but an expert when it comes to information technology issues. I know I have the ability to rely tremendously on Sanjog’s insights into the IT world as well as his expertise in successfully designing, implementing and managing global IT staffing and strategic leadership solutions.

Working with Sanjog has been a great learning, invigorating experience. He has always provided me with honest feedback in the sense acted as a mirror. Sanjog has a very approachable demeanor that allowed me to be comfortable to bring forth my current challenges, concerns and discuss them with him without being judged at all. His mentorship has certainly given me a very crystal clear vision of what I need to achieve in my career in the forthcoming years.

Nagendra Sherman

Director - Client Services, Rolta Americas

Sanjog has been instrumental in helping me to build an accelerated coaching and mentoring plan throughout the local community. I always look at Sanjog as a great connector who constructs win-win proposals that can build successful entrepreneurs. Sanjog is a premier IT executive coach and mentor who effectively engages with IT thought leaders in developing and owning their vision and strategies, leveraging cross-organization collaboration to achieve the best solutions. He consistently energizes people to realize their goals and creates an environment where others are motivated to do their very best. He is the “go-to” coach when it comes to IT in America.

José Ignacio Sordo Galarza

Sanjog has been a valuable resource to me both professionally and personally. He helped me to develop my management and communication skills, allowing for my career to advance and my capabilities to grow. It was Sanjog who taught me the importance of networking and collaboration with other professionals outside of my organization. Both sponsoring me to join the Society of Information Managers (SIM) and introducing me to many leaders both in and out of my industry has allowed for me to develop relationships that I would have otherwise not established. Sanjog has a special talent in the way that he mentors. He establishes relationships not for the goal of how it can benefit himself or his company, rather how it can mutually benefit everyone involved in the relationship. Listening and then providing honest and frank feedback has been critical in helping to develop success in those that he has coached.
