"I have worked with Mani in a couple of different respets. She is a Resident Company at Ignite Southern, of which I am Site lead, and she and ASBB has worked on a project for the Yarmouth & Acadian Shores Tourism Accociation which I also worked on. Mani is excellent to work with, very smart and thoughtful in everything she does. On top of that she has a real passion for the work, and a great sense of the nuances around the issues we were dealing with. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Mani and ASBB Consulting."

“ASBB Consulting conducted one of the best workshops that I have ever attended. The topic was writing grant applications. The material included everything from a strategic overview perspective to a discussion the important details of the step-wise process of actually completing the application. There was enough learning material to fill the seminar period many times over and it provided great, take-home resources to use in the process of creating a grant application. Our instructor, Mani, provided many comments with great insight that would have only come from direct experience and deep research into the subject.”

"Agamani is an excellent team coordinator, she assisted our group in self-assessment 360° exercises related to data and model governance practices for closer alignment with best practices in enterprise risk management. In the context of the organization of training sessions for the CRO sector, Agamani proved herself to be a dynamic go-getter - she took ownership of outreach efforts, the selection and vetting of relevant subject matter and experts, and the design of group learning exercises during the planning phase. She also encouraged healthy debate and engaged staff and invited panelists during the training days."

"Agamani is a great team player providing a strong work ethic to any group. She has gained significant experience, soft skills & technical knowledge in both the CMHC Risk Insurance Modelling team & Research Division. She has been a key Senior Analyst under my research project for the development of the Household Debt Assessment Model (HDAM). This econometric-based economic model is the combination of several debt indicators built in-house at CMHC such as the measurement of the housing wealth effect, debt over-stretching & deviation of consumer debt against macroeconomic fundamentals at the CMA level."
