Maja Konrad

Director of Operational Excellence and Transportation at Shipwire

I have been working with Arun for almost two years and he has always impressed me with his ability to bring multi-functional teams together to reach common goals.

Dan Weiss

Distribution and Transportation Management Executive

Arun brings the ability to anticipate what a customer needs and manage the process for delivering that feature or product, but he brings so much more than that. Arun’s willingness to dig into and analyze the data that drives performance and customer growth both organically and externally. Arun takes the time to understand big problems and create elegant solutions. I look forward to working with Arun again.

Ankit Garg

Director of Strategy & Operations

We recently engaged Augment Advisory (and Arun) to help identify strategic direction for my startup. Arun's expertise in retail data analytics and translating this knowledge into suggested product features was very helpful for us towards building an MVP along with identifying early adopters. Arun also helped us create an in depth revenue projection model which was helpful in creating a pitch deck for early stage investors.
