    —Manny Duenas, Market Intelligence, Emerging Biotech 

  • "I worked with Shiv for a number at years on the supplier side of market research; he greatly enhanced the value of our offerings and our deliverables. Shiv brings intelligence, an understanding of various therapeutic areas and a true sense of partnership to all projects. From writing proposals through delivering presentations, he consistently exceeds expectations. Shiv understands how to align analytic and modeling schemes to a variety of business issues. His toolbox consists not only of “standard” methodology but also innovative ways to address needs. Shiv values brainstorming with clients at all levels and goes the extra mile to deliver truly actionable results – and he does so with an intense interest in the project, and a smile on his face."

His clients are lucky to have him. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.” List Item

  • "Shiv has that combination of advanced analytical and common sensical thinking that is so often needed in the marketing research and statistics world. I worked with him for two years and was always impressed with his ability to develop solutions".

    - Michael Morgan, Ph.D.

  • "I recently worked with Shiv on a large quantitative study which involved a complex conjoint component. He was a thought partner throughout the process, providing expert modeling support as well as recommendations on how to present the final product to our client. Shiv is very responsive and a pleasure to work with".

    -Christopher Nolan, Corporate & Business Development

  • "I can't recommend Shiv highly enough. I do not have an in-house methodologist at this time, but consider Shiv to be an integral part of our team. Despite being in a consulting role, he is my top resource for all multivariate design/analysis issues. In addition to his overall expertise in complex modeling studies, he has the ability to speak "marketing" with our clients. He offers strong recommendations as to the best approach to meet their needs, educates them and reassures them as needed. I rely on Shiv to represent our company and don't hesitate to include him in client meetings or to have him speak with clients directly".

    -Jann Walsh, Marketing Research Consultant

  • "Shiv provided consulting services for BioVid at a time when we needed someone who could do more than just "turn the handle" on analytics tasks, but who could work closely with research teams of varying sophistication to help them through key analytics choices and be by their side (metaphorically speaking) as they digested difficult analytics outputs. Not all analytics consultants can do this well, or wish to get that close to the "front lines". But Shiv brings to the table a touch for client service that allows him to be an effective and responsive team player -- a valuable skill set in the abstract, complex world of advanced analytics that definitely enhanced his effectiveness with us. I know Shiv's responsiveness and tact were as key to his ability to earn our researchers' trust as was his broad experience and expertise, and so I think you will find Shiv a fine choice for your advanced analytics needs".

    -Jeff Brodscholl, Ph.D., Behavioral Scientist

  • "Shiv has consulted on a number of studies in the past year. He partners throughout the life of the project: providing expertise and consultancy as well as being a sounding board on issues of method/design/interpretation. He also communicates technical subjects in a way that 'non-experts' can understand them & feel comfortable in communicating them to others. In addition, Shiv has shown flexibility in accommodating changing circumstances (timelines, objectives, scope)".

    -Aarti Shah, Experienced Healthcare Insights Professional

  • "My relationship with Shiv has spanned ten plus years - both as a colleague and most recently as a strategic partner in the area of advanced analytics. Shiv designs cutting-edge choice-based methodologies for extremely complex business questions. His ability to talk through difficult-to-absorb information in a cool and collected manner is a true gift not often seen in others. Shiv has always been accommodating to my needs and more than willing to participate in initial discussions with clients. I am very much looking forward in collaborating with Shiv for any and all advanced analytic needs in 2014".
