Anything Henna is miles ahead of where we are. She is world class, people recognise that.”
I’ve seen many presentations in my decades at Google. Your presentation, in my opinion, struck a fine balance between business and technology – and using a captivating video to call out the importance of Operational Efficiency.”
A big thanks for the time you have given the team. In your 30 or so advising us, you have moved at a relentless pace, yet still found time to help many of us on our individual patches.”
You’ve created a real movement – this is something special to celebrate!”
In my past few years [at Google Cloud] I have rarely seen anyone galvanize the entire global community in such a meaningful way that is so aligned between GTM strategy & its execution – it is pathbreaking work!!”
Working with you has been a highlight of my time at Google.”
Happily, in most cases, I meet some really impressive people in senior executives …even against such high expectations, I did not expect to be as impressed as I was by our session and your clear passion for your work and the people you seek to lead.”
In 28 years, I have never worked this hard, never loved it so much, and never had a manager who inspired me and taught me so much. Your by far the most exceptional manager I have ever had. I did not know such managers existed.”
I got a lot of execution ready ideas from your presentation on how to structure our team and approach across FSI.”
You’re an inspiration! I want to learn to think and share as clearly and frankly as you do!”
Henna is far more advanced in her thinking than any of the leaders at Google that I have connected with! And I see that as a huge compliment to her. A clear vision of what is achievable here and far more clear than other people I’ve spoken with.”
I have interacted and seen a lot intelligence but you are among those few who bring a perfect combination of intelligence and attitude.”
I am thrilled that you lead with a vision in mind. If others led with such clarity, we would be much farther along. You have made such headway with our stakeholders and have brought in valuable thinking to our team. This is tremendous.”
I took three pages of notes from your presentation, Henna! I cannot wait to share with my teams.”
I was/am good (and in some cases very good) at a lot of things. But never great at anything (which makes me a normal person, I guess). Sometime ago I made this choice, that good (or very good) is good enough and I actually do consider myself a successful person. I do. But you inspired me to try to be better than good, I actually began wanting to be great. I don’t know if I could, but I am curious now. Which is already great. Thank you for that.”
How much can 1 person do? We started with no one having any clear sense of where to start, tiptoeing around. After your advising us the last few months, we’re finally able to start and so close to alignment. Finally!”
We recognized Dr. Karna’s brilliance at AIG and later at AXA XL with DEEP, which was so ahead of what other insurers were doing,” said Mike Fitzgerald, principal insurance analyst at CB Insights, a market intelligence firm that follows the InsurTech space. “When I read that Google had hired her, I took note that something extraordinary was in the works for the industry.”
Henna is one of the few people who understands how the insurance industry can be positively disrupted with the right technologies.”
She’s super bright and a really broad thinker. She’s never been shy about challenging orthodoxy when it’s best for a company or an industry.”
Henna’s strong suit is her ability to see the future of insurance—further over the horizon than anyone else I know.”
Her vision, passion and unflagging energies are unreal. Henna’s push to modernity has made her a driving force of change in the industry. She is literally reinventing how insurance gets transacted.”
Henna came to me with a very compelling vision. She explained that insurance organizations manage information technology with a plethora of point solutions, a ‘death of a thousand cuts.’ Her vision was to leverage Google’s formidable arsenal of cloud solutions, software and analytics tools in the revolutionary development of a holistic solution entailing minimal change management. I was completely captivated, as I had similar thoughts and leanings.”
