Amit Vithal Patel

“I have worked with Amit for a year and his knowledge of the sales industry was vast and invaluable to our success. His expertise allowed us to take on challenging tasks with confidence and his ability to think outside the box boosted our creativity. He is true to his word and a highly dependable colleague!”

“Amit is a great sales and people leader with an exceptional ability to work and bond with stakeholders at all levels. He quickly builds rapport, gains trust and gives direction to his team and does so in a very authentic and personable way. His ability to bring out the best in his teams, restructure sales orgs, implement processes and sales methodologies is brilliant and would be of value to any organization. Within a year of joining Grab, Amit had completely reshaped the regional salesforce and realigned expectations upwards and downwards. His ability to manage up and down is something that gains him huge respect from his colleagues. Amit is a great manager and would be an asset to any organization he joins - I really enjoyed learning from him. I hope we have the chance to work together again in the future.”

“The best word to describe Amit is dedication, as a sales leader he has mentored me to further sharpen my skills and developed me to be a better version of myself. Amit has always been there for me day or night, rolling up his sleeves working together during tough closing stages and standing alongside me. Amit is loved by his sales team as he cares for our well-being and understands the stress of selling. He takes the time to know each of us personally, our goals and makes time to plan our success motivating me to perform my best. Amit’s charismatic character and experience makes him a unique blend of a great leader that will be missed. I look forward to hearing his success.”

“Amit has been an absolute pleasure to work with over the past years as he always went above and beyond as a leader in Unit4. He is result driven and objective focused, he has continuously helped the team to drive the numbers and OA QoQ! Amit has an innate ability to understand both business and customer problems, and to look at the problem from various angles. His fresh perspectives has continuously helped the team to drive new ideas within the team on problem solving. Over the years working with him, he has proven GRIT and GROWTH as a manager, and shared the valuable skills to the team - he has driven us all to be a better version of ourselves! On a softer side, Amit has always motivated our team to multiple successes often through his own determination! He is a sociable person outside of work, and always ready to hear you out if you had any issues that you are dealing with! I wish him best in his career and will be excited for our paths to cross again!”

“if one would like achieve fun at work and achievements at objectives, Amit is the one you should work with. he's always very focus at work and once he aimed for the targeted objectives, he will definitely got it achieved. Working with him has been my honour in my career journey.”

“Amit at Unit4 has proven to deliver on his leadership skills and provide as both a mentor and coach to the team. Being creative in problem handling and not afraid of rolling up his sleeves, we wonder how he works everyday highly charged up. Having reported to Amit for 4 years in Unit4, it is impressive how he can find solutions with new ideas and easily on board people to galvanise the team to work on the common objectives. With him taking the lead, team members are motivated to push for new echelons against any head winds.”

“I highly recommend Amit as he is a natural born leader and would love to work together again with him if an opportunity arises. He has a great sense of humour, is charismatic and always knows how to handle people in the fairest way. He does whatever it takes to help his team and gets things done for them - he guided me to Presidents / Top Performer Club 2 years in a row! He makes sure that everyone in his team are on the same page and focused on the main goal and continuously helps to ensure objectives are met. It was a pleasure working with Amit for 3 years, both as my mentor and friend. Amit is an ultimate people manager and will be an asset to any company! All the best in your future endeavours.”

“I have known Amit for more than 4 years ever since the days I was a Prosoft user before becoming part of his team as presales. Amit is very professional and he always supports his team and seeks to achieve win-win for everyone. I enjoy collaborating with him to solve problems for customers because he gives very clear directions and expectations for the team. Amit is also the type of leader who walks the talk and lead by example. On many occasions, I have seen how he took ownership of issues and supported his team through thick and thin. This is a very sought-after leadership and I will definitely not hesitate to recommend Amit to any organization. It has been a great pleasure to be his ex-customer and colleague and I do hope to have future opportunities to collaborate with him again! ”

“I feel very fortunate to have met and reported to Amit in the course of my sales career. Amit is the most hands-on sales leader I have worked with, and that has been instrumental to not only my own, but as well as the APAC sales team's success. Particularly in the acquisition of net new logos, Amit's executive involvement in the closing stages was pivotal to winning new business from customers. As a mentor he is generous with his time and advice, and is not afraid to front difficult customer conversations alongside his reps. Personally he has also cared for the mental well-being of his team amidst the stress of selling. He would be dearly missed but I wish him all the best in his new journey, any sales team would be lucky to have Amit!”

“I’ve worked for Amit, closing in on 4 years in a sales, throughout which he can only be described as “supportive”. He has supported my team and I beyond his managerial scope, but also ensured that issues beyond his team have been alleviated to ensure we have adequate support throughout the organization. Since reporting into Amit, there has yet to be a quarter that I didn’t achieve my number, as he consistently motivated the team. Especially during the pandemic, Amit’s hands-on leadership approach shone through by deciphering and implementing new selling tactics to help us achieve our targets. He has displayed skills that we aspire to have, whilst also imparting such skills onto us to help us improve. He has been one of the best managers I’ve personally had, and am happy for future folks that will work with him. He is a must-have for any organization.”

“Amit is a leader for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration for. I was given the opportunity, from Amit, to take up the Account Manager position and learn under his wing. During this period, he had led the sales team to tremendous success in 2018, 2019, and 2020, despite all the odds from Covid-19. Most, if not all, of the sales team members, have overachieved their targets under his guidance. The stellar results were not by chance, nor luck. Amit spends time and effort to be on-the-ground with us, understanding our deals and sharing his experience and suggestions on how we can improve. His constant encouragement, coaching and constructive criticism bring out the best of me and the team. Amit’s unparalleled determination is infectious, and inspires confidence. He garners all our strengths and rallies the team towards our goals - all done with a little sense of humour. This makes the toughness seem easier. Amit is a role model, a mentor, and a true friend, and I am extremely proud and grateful to have served in his team. Congratulations on your promotion to General Manager! ”

“I can’t say enough good things about Amit. We had an amazing turn around in Unit4 APAC from 2018-2020 in growing the SAAS business. To put it simply, that turn around would not have happened without Amit. He was an instrumental driver in working with me to rebuild the sales engine, retrain the sales reps, and introduce sales cadence and discipline. We went from a sales team where only 1-2 sales reps were making their targets to a complete reversal where the majority are at or over achieving their sales targets. We grew an astonishing 64% of bookings in 2019, the first year that Amit and I worked together to transform and pivot our Prosoft business. 2020 growth in Prosoft has also been stellar at over 40% YOY. The best thing about Amit is not that he works hard (which is a given) but that he has a cracking sense of humour. That helps everyone to still have a bit of fun even when the stress level mounts. I have a lot of time for Amit and I would not hesitate to call on him if ever a similar opportunity to collaborate presents itself. ”

“Having reported to Amit over the past year, anyone would instantly notice and agree that he possesses a charismatic presence, which is an important trait for any sales leader. Amit is extremely hands-on when it comes to rallying the troops, strategising deal closures and handling executive conversations. He knows exactly what he wants and has mentally structured the exact steps it will take for him to achieve the desired goals. I highly commend Amit for being a great leader, mentor and friend.”

“Amit naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for the whole staff. With a background in Sales and Client Management for over ten years’ Amit exhibits strong interpersonal skills and a unique way of working with the team and our clients. These qualities most notably translate in his ability to motivate a team to care about their work and be invested in the team's overall success. Though he’s never one to draw attention to himself, Amit’s positive attitude and the respect others feel toward him are admirable. I really enjoyed working under his guidance, and felt that I have developed my own skill set for which I would like to thank Amit. I wish him all the very best in his career!”

“Amit ‘gets’ the shared services landscape. I worked with him on a regional sponsorship whereby we sponsored the Shared Services and Outsourcing event across four countries. His dedication to us as his client was always present by seeing each event through. His commitment to the organisation he works for is tireless, and he is a fun person to work with.”

“Amit has a strategic approach to client partnership and development; always seeking to understand the solution that will deliver the best value long term for his clients. He is excellent at forming relationships and selling into the C-suite across many industries and has grown the Asian SSON portfolio by both sectors and revenue during his time as the SSON sales lead in Asia.”

“I have speaking to Amit for a couple of years and since have met him last year in Singapore. On phone or emails or in person, Amit drives the same passion, a tremendous business understanding and a very good knowledge of the APJ Shared Services landscape. He is a joy to work with, a true profrssion and an excellent orator.”

“Amit Vithal work ethics is very impressive. He sets his goal and is very determined to ensure he not only meet but exceed expectations. His drive and motivation is exemplary and he will go all way out to help a friend in need. His jovial personality also makes you at ease instantly and he connects very well with others which is a very important asset in his line of work. All in all he is really one of a kind and someone who you surely will feel sorry for not meeting if you have the chance.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Amit when I took up the business development role for MDeC. We have been constantly communicating for the past 2 to 3 years specific to the targeted conferences that IQPC organizes for SSO. Amit is our (MDeC’s) business development person, i.e. our point of contact when it comes to these events. He is truly dedicated to his job, a great educator, problem solver and one of the most patient people I know. He is also very passionate about what he does. His dedication is both motivating and contagious! I would urge you to get to know him if you need a reliable source about the SSO business, network and industry. Cheers mate!”

“Working with Amit has definitely been a memorable experience. He has an unorthodox way of working with clients, however he always prioritises their business objectives and ensures that they have a great experience at our events. One great example of this commitment was when he had a client who was participating at one of our events for the first time. They were nervous about the investment and whether they would meet the right prospects at the event. Rather than just building a standard sponsorship package, Amit customised a meeting package that was designed to make an impression to all our delegates about the scope and breadth of the client’s services. He was on the phone with them daily in the run-up to the event to make sure that he was aware of all their concerns and made sure that he prepped the team about what we needed to deliver. They ended up having a fabulous time, meeting all their key prospects and they are eager to work with us again in other markets. He’s definitely a valued member of the team and really takes ownership of every part of the client experience.”

“Amit was brought in a sales 'gun for hire' to work on our biggest & most successful portfolio which had tremendous growth potential. He did so convincingly by having a very refined understanding of the global Shared Services market but also through forging meaningful relationships with key figure heads in the business. He is a passionate and very commercially minded manager who won't give up until the target is met. I can see Amit going a long way in this sector and wish him deserving success.”

Amit is very good at converting existing and new relationships into potentially long standing partnerships .He understands core issues and very quick and effective to address them ....One of the most responsive people I have met with the ability to create the right climate to conduct business . Excellent communication skills and always has his eye on the ball .He has a keen understanding for partner needs and requirements and always delivers way beyond commitments .Amit is a combination of knowing what needs to be done , getting the job done and strategically changing course if required along the way to achieve the right business results .”

“I have worked with Amit closely over the past 1 year to build up our partnership in the shared services industry and drive various thought leadership efforts across the industry. I have found Amit extremely customer centric and having the ability to understand the business context quickly and developing very creative solutions that helps in making a profound impact towards accomplishing the various objectives. Amit is a thorough professional and a high energy leader and has strong influencing skills that helps him to be very resourceful and is able to navigate through various roadblocks. It is an absolute pleasure to work with Amit and I would strongly recommend him as a trusted business partner.”

“Amit is a go getter with tremendous drive and leadership capabiilties. Very professional and easy to deal with. We had the opportunity to closely work together at the Shared Services conference in APJ and Amit showed a lot of initiative, operational excellence capability and pro activness.”

“Having worked with Amit at my current and last positions, I have known him as a friend and as a colleague for some time. Amit is a visionary with foresight and sets action plans to achieve targeted outcomes. A driven individual who sets things in motion, never afraid to bring innovative ideas to the table and combine them with traditional methods to achieve his goals / objectives. An extremely highly motivated individual and formidable team player”

“Amit is a goal-getter and has the ability to exceed revenue targets despite given difficult projects. He has great business acumen and is a natural connector, two key strengths you will want in a business development professional. He is definitely an invaluable asset to any organization.”
