IN MEMORIAM
A Tribute to our Friend, Raj Petchimuthu
- By Ajay Rajan
It is an honor to write this tribute to Raj —a friend, colleague,
avid blogger and loving son. In whatever role I knew him, he
stood apart as someone special! I first met Raj as he was
beginning his career within India TA Customer Operations
Team. His abilities and charismatic personality were readily
apparent! It was clear that he would most likely have an
outstanding career in FT.
This first encounter marked the beginning of our
longstanding professional friendship. Down the years, Raj
joined my team as Communication Specialists and our
relationship grew stronger and Raj always surprised me with
his abilities and character as days passed.
Raj was committed and focused on improving his skills
and his deliverables. He was a transformational leader
and change agent, who had great dreams of what the
Communications team could be. He had a gift of
innovative thinking, a visionary spirit, and the
tenacious patience required to successfully lead
meaningful reform.
In addition to his devotion to his work, Raj always
found time for his colleagues, his friends, and his
family, especially his parents. Having worked with Raj
quite closely in the the last few years, I learned a great
deal about his love for his family.
