“Working with Gauri has been a phenomenal experience. From food & beverage consulting to curating experience-driven events to creating unique partnerships, Gauri is a brilliant strategist. Her trifecta of confidence, creativity, and curiosity makes her strategic ideas and solutions unique and differentiated. Gauri also build trust in her relationships and cares deeply about the end result which gave her permission to bring her ideas to the table as people trust her guidance and know she will deliver impactful solutions.”

— Chris Delucchi, Chief Growth Officer, Streetsense

“Gauri is a rare combination of creativity and discipline. She is able to both craft a unique experience and execute every detail. Since owning and marketing her own restaurant business to packages, promotions, or product launches on behalf of others - Gauri works at an unrivaled level, treating each project as her own. I have worked with her on a variety of projects over the years and have always appreciate Gauri’s candid feedback and even more value her ability to always find a creative solution.”

— Tim Ma, Chef/Owner & AAPI Advocate

"They simply don't make them like Gauri anymore. Gauri is one of the most resourceful, hard working, and charismatic problem-solvers of her generation. She has profound qualities that make her incomparably adaptable. No conflict or situation is too hard, and Gauri always manages to find a way to make things work. When I hired her as a consultant to operate the region's largest live festival, I laughingly joked that I would only hire someone that could survive being kidnapped. Gauri not only survived, she thrived in her position, quickly climbing the ranks to eventually running core areas of our business as our boots on the ground. Gauri has a natural gift to connect with human beings. No matter someone’s age, race, background, they always find camaraderie and connection to her. There were so many people that came to love Gauri on an authentic level. This is something that cannot be learned, it’s something she was born with and it’s what makes her truly special."
