Joseph Jacks

Founder and General Partner OSS Capital

Palani is very gifted and driven. In all my interactions with him at Plane, he has been exceptionally creative, swift and elegant in delivering solutions that move the product forward. Both at a very low level in code and also design and communication. I cannot recommend Palani more highly. He will bring transformative results to any organization that he graces.
