Bita is a deeply talented and committed professional with unlimited positive energy and extraordinary talents. She has a tremendous intellect, balanced with creativity and awareness, has a feeling for visionary/futuristic technologies, and finds ways to leverage new technologies in service of humanity. Among her many gifts? A passion for sharing the beauty of her culture, and a worldliness that inspires all of us to learn more about each other's cultures and embrace what unites us a human beings. Bita is effective across the board, and is hands down one of the most talented business and philanthropic leaders I have had the privilege to learn from and support.

Bita and I worked together for 6+ years at GENBAND, now Ribbon Communications. She lead the charge to rebrand the company after the merger of GENBAND and Sonus ~ a huge effort. She is a master of messaging, creative, attentive to detail,and driven. Bita is a perfectionist in all she does and has the ability to multi-task better than anyone I have worked with in marketing. She is a strong champion for her team and supports them to achieve amazing results. As a person, Bita is compassionate and kind, and I’m proud to call her a friend, as well as a colleague. I recommended her without reservation!
