Meet the ReputationDefender Team – 12/18/2009

Last week, on Meet the ReputationDefender Team, we profiled Bart Munro, ReputationDefender’s Director of Product Management. Bart’s job is to help build smarter and more efficient products to help better serve our customers. One of the reasons why ReputationDefender invests so much effort into making our products unique is because our customers have very unique needs.

Whether you want to promote your personal or professional brand, protect your identity from defamation or slander, or keep your children safe on the web,  ReputationDefender has a product that can help. Of course, sometimes, our customers don’t know what services they need. That’s why we have people like Gurkiran Sandhu, who you’ll meet in today’s edition of Meet the ReputationDefender Team.

Gurkiran specializes in helping our customers understand how our products work and helping them figure out the right combination of services for their unique needs. Learn more about Gurkiran and her work below.

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Gurkiran Sandhu and I analyze the goals of our clients and help them understand their needs as they relate to Online Reputation Management (ORM).

What did you do prior to joining ReputationDefender?

I was a software engineer before I joined ReputationDefender. I have over four years of experience in designing and developing software related to Failure Analysis in the Semiconductor industry.

What attracted you to ReputationDefender?

The concept of online reputation management is very new, but a very important one for this day and age, when Internet is the primary source of getting information about anyone or anything. That’s why I wanted to be a part of ReputationDefender – the leader in online reputation management – to help spread awareness of how to manage one’s online profile and maintain one’s good name on the web. I want to help people understand and learn how to manage a professional web presence and gain more control over their online persona.

Why do you think it’s important for people to manage their reputations online?

One Reason: People are Googling you. If you don’t like what they find, it’s up to you to change it.

When you’re not helping individuals control and protect their good names online, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I like to travel, try new restaurants, spend time with my family and friends and watch movies.

What’s your all-time favorite website?
