Judy Johnson
Vice-President (Solutions)
Over 4 years with Patni | | “One of the challenges of my role at Patni is that change is a constant. My role is multi-dimensional in that I am asked to participate in many different initiatives requiring broad industry experience. Most days bring new issues, new ideas and priorities and new tasks. That level of change is a source of job satisfaction as I have the pleasure of working across geographic and organizational boundaries with dedicated, experienced and capable people. I also enjoy using my industry credentials to represent Patni by speaking at industry conferences or writing in insurance trade press, helping to build and reinforce the Patni brand.” |

Jeremy Mackinlay
Director (Marketing)
Over 1 year with Patni | | “I came on board the Patni team in EMEA a year ago as Marketing Director. I have been working with our sales teams here to take the Patni brand forward in the region. We have been one of the best kept secrets in Europe and my challenge is to shout our successes from the rooftops of London, Frankfurt, Helsinki and Dubai so that that people know all about us and what we can do. For me, the pleasures (and sometimes the challenges) of working at Patni come from working in a company with roots in the East and the West. From my desk in London, I have learned more about India’s mix of cultures and religion, mindset and ways of working, its optimism, vibrancy, work-ethic, food and spirituality than I could ever hope to achieve in even an extended holiday there. Every day I learn something new and often amazing. It is also great to work somewhere – finally – where people share my love of cricket and vegetarian food.” |

Mehernaz Daruwalla
Assistant Manager (Finance)
Over 3.5 years with Patni | | "I feel as though I make a difference. My work allows me latitude to make decisions and implement them in order to get the job done. At the end of the day I can look back and see what I have been able to accomplish with a great feeling of satisfaction. All this…in just 3.5 years of joining as a fresher from the CA campus in the SOX department of the Company. These 3.5 years has made me a different individual in terms of exploring my ideas, voicing my opinions and innovating every day @Patni. It has given me immense opportunity to grow, achieve and enhance my career and my knowledge wealth. It doesn't seem so much like work when you are surrounded by people that care for you as an individual. Patni is truly a Company that puts people first, manages from the heart, and cares for its people.” |

Masaaki Imai
Manager (Sales)
Over 1.5 years with Patni | | “I'm working for new business development here in Japan. In my role, I have lots of opportunity to contribute to the Company’s business model. By understanding the cultural differences between the Indian delivery team and the Japanese clients, I am always challenged in creating a Patni differentiator with all my intelligence. I feel such a differentiator may be a small step, but will be important step to make India business successful in Japan. By selling global services to the Japanese market, I feel that each company which tries to work with us is getting a good experience to adopt a global standard. I am very happy to be involved in such a level of global interaction for future development. Working in Patni gives me lots of software service knowledge for multiple industries. Since software service domain is weak in local Japanese companies, I confidently address myself as a software service business developer.” |
