What is exceptional about Deepa is her ability to create healthy and creative environments for collaboration between product, design and engineering. Everyone has a seat at the table, everyone has a voice and when decisions are made Deepa leads teams through execution with precision and a healthy dose of joy. The product executive I most hope to work with again, and would fight to hire at any future venture, is Deepa.
