“Annelise Piers has been consulting with Amba Research since 2006. She came on board to enhance teams' English communication. However, in a very short time she had learned enough about the industry to contribute to and deliver the financial writing module. More recently, she's played a major part in the CRM and Leadership training.
She's always got her finger on the pulse, customizing training for various audiences in India, Colombo and Costa Rica from different departments and organizational levels.
Annelise is an asset to Amba and my team in particular. She constantly upgrades her skills and brings fresh ideas and unconventional training methodology into the classroom. Her use of game and the arts has delivered concrete results on the floor.” Aruna Perera, CFA Amba Research Srilanka '
“I have had the fortune of working with Anna on a few occasions. I found her to be very high energy, innovative, learn new methods of achieving results and a true professional. She possesses a rare quality of a trainer - ever interested in knowing how her trainees are performing. She kept in touch with her trainees even after the engagement and also came up with ideas to improve training content and delivery methodology much after her engagement.” Rama Harave, General Manager - Service Excellence at Firstsource Solutions Ltd.
"Anna is a very good trainer with a positive attitude and a pleasant personality. She is one of the few trainers who easily connects with people and groups from different parts of the globe with varied cultures. She is always eager to learn (and try) new things. She has a very high sense of 'responsibility' which ensures that even if others drop the ball, she would pick it up unhesitatingly and run with it. All in all it has been a real pleasure working with Anna." Hari T.N, Managing Director and Global Head Human Resources at Amba Research
