CLIENT PRAISE: HR LEADERSHIP
Michael Gilman, CEO, Arrakis Therapeutics Inc.
“Ann set up all the basic HR infrastructure at Arrakis, connected us to outstanding recruiters, and got us on track to intentionally create culture and shared values among our people. She was a fully integrated member of the Arrakis leadership team in those early days and really helped us build the company. Most importantly, she became a trusted advisor and confidante to me and helped me navigate the bumpy path of building and perfecting my own team. I’d work with her again any time.”
Grant Bogle, President and CEO, Epizyme
"Anushka and I began working together at TESARO seven years ago when she was the HR Business Partner assigned to the commercial organization, which I led. Anushka was instrumental in building a highly capable, diverse, and talented commercial team and supported us until the company was sold to GSK in 2019. I hired Anushka as a consultant when I became CEO of Epizyme to guide the rebuilding of our commercial and medical teams, a role she has successfully played for the past year. Anushka is an outstanding HR leader who can develop and execute HR strategies in a variety of cultures and business climates, while building trust and engagement across the enterprise. She is a true pro…and I highly recommend her firm for any HR business needs. "
Joseph Virgilio, President and CEO, GI Dynamics
"Anushka served as valuable partner to GI Dynamics and a critical member of our management team for several years. Not only did she collaborate with us on setting strategic direction and staffing needs, she also kept us on track with employee training and development initiatives. She was always engaged as a partner and resource, not only to management but the entire staff at GI Dynamics. We have been fortunate to have Anushka help guide us through several years of corporate development and critical transitions."
Andy Porter, Chief Administrative Officer, Relay Therapeutics Inc.
"Ann consulted for us for several months in the capacity of thought partner to me, and mentor and consultant to a member of the people team. Ann was incredibly helpful! I greatly valued the ability to bounce ideas off her and sometimes just vent a bit. She did exactly what I was hoping for – helped my team member to progress a project, and provided valuable mentoring where Ann brought more experience to the conversation. Ann was easy to work with and showed up like a consultant, mentor and a seasoned HR expert- just what we needed.”
Mike Raab, President and CEO, Ardelyx Inc.
“Throughout my career, a common complaint I have heard from employees is that HR is not responsive to their needs. What is so remarkable about Anushka, and the Elysian team, is when we work with them, I hear nothing but compliments and accolades. Absolutely everyone says, “Mike, do what you can to hire her,”…and I’ve tried…Trust that Anushka and Elysian will over deliver!”
