Jennie Baird shared this recommendation for Rajiv on May 04, 2020 via LinkedIn:
I had the pleasure of working with Rajiv for 2.5 years at News Corp. As Deputy CTO, Rajiv was a key strategic partner for our team, setting technology standards and building tools to advance digital products and optimize operations. Rajiv’s experience at so many top-tier media companies is incredibly impressive, but what makes him stand out even more is his warm, collaborative leadership style. In a contentious work environment, he remained focused on doing good work, and supporting other teams in doing their best work too, always showing genuine interest in people. He is a great listener, a calming influence, and a consummate professional. I would highly recommend Rajiv as a leader at any company - and, truth be told, I hope to work with him again one day.
As SVP and Global Head of Product at News Corp, Jennie worked with Rajiv for 2.5 years, overseeing digital product across Dow Jones, News UK, News Corp Australia, New York Post, Storyful, Realtor.com, and HarperCollins. Jennie’s career spans 30+ years in digital media, including roles at AOL and iVillage. She went on to become EVP and Chief Product Officer at BBC Studios and is now Board Chair of The Ethical Tech Project.
