Murthy Mathiprakasam

“As the first Program Manager in Marketing at Rubrik, it was my responsibility to create a well-oiled engine in Marketing and implement processes that would keep teams on track across competing marketing initiatives. Even though Murthy and I were not direct reports, Murthy offered his time, energy, and resources to help me craft an agile program management lifecycle that has now become the recipe in which we run our marketing initiatives. He never gave me the full recipe to execute a project, just a list of ingredients so I can fill in the rest. Even if a meeting or project didn't run on its wheels, Murthy was always very positive on how I can further iterate on the process. I led a weekly executive review with varying agenda topics that rolled up to any of our marketing initiatives so we can hit campaign milestones. These meetings were an opportunity to get executive sign off across any marketing initiative so we can march towards progress. We have seen a reduction in silo'd executive conversations, increased team visibility across our initiatives, and improved cross-functional alignment between managers and their reports. Creating this weekly executive review was due to Murthy's expertise and guidance managing cross-functional teams and competing initiatives. Murthy constantly empowered me to constantly improve the process and never settled for less. He was always very positive and focused on "what went well" even if I felt a project didn't run smoothly. He always challenged me to think outside the box often to the point of discomfort where I finally broke away from any self-doubt. Murthy will be a great addition to any team to motivate and empower employees, improve current processes, and needs inspiring and communicative leadership!”

“What truly sets Murthy apart is his innate ability to inspire and uplift his team, instilling in each of us the drive to consistently deliver our best work. He has a natural talent for guiding his team members beyond their potential. He doesn't just lead, he actively mentors and supports. His strategic insights and market expertise have been instrumental in guiding me through multiple successful product launches. Whenever I needed advice or direction, he was always available to offer his thoughtful guidance. Murthy's communication skills are nothing short of exceptional. He has a knack for ensuring that the entire team is aligned, informed, and motivated to achieve our goals. He is also extremely dedicated to his work and has an exceptional ability to drive results and innovate within a fast-paced environment. It's a privilege to work under Murthy's leadership, and I have no doubt that he will continue to inspire and create meaningful impact.”
