"Tanvi is one of those rare people in a workplace: extremely collaborative, enthusiastic, and curious. She is unafraid to question assumptions and is constructively critical to the point of bringing out the best in others. Her ability to visualize complex systems pushed us to reevaluate our approach and think more holistically. Her presence on the team is an instant boost to its energy and creative power."
