“While at Patheon, I had a chance to work with Austin directly in the formulations development group. Austin is a wonderful manager with strong leadership skills. He has a knack for motivating the team members and bringing out the best within the team members. His leadership was clearly evident on several projects where he brought to fruition several client projects within the budgetary and project timelines.” Vipan Dhall, PhD

“If one can define leadership as the quality to bring out the best in people and enable, empower and inspire them to achieve what would be normally considered extraordinary, then I would say that I have seen these qualities in Austin. I had the opportunity to work with him from 2004 – 2006 when I worked with him directly and indirectly and later as a member of the Centres of Excellence Initiative Low Solubility team. His technical expertise propelled the research aspect of our team, often into previously unexplored territories and his organizational vision and skills ensured that the research was in alignment with the broader organizational objectives. The experience of working with him was technically enriching and provided me the understanding of the fine principles of successful leadership and managerial practices.” Nav Sharma
