COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
	Who Recommends/Name	Role in OWASP	Recommendation Content
1	Giorgio Fedon	Owasp Italy TD	Nishi is a talented professional with specific knowledge about large corporates needs for Appsec
2	Keith Turpin	Project Leader	Nishi represents a large financial sector service and technology provider. She brings extensive industry knowledge and represents a customer set that can directly benefit from OWASP projects. As a industry partner she brings a user based view that will help provide a useful perspective to the committee. Combine this with her excellent technical knowledge as a system architect and she will be an asset as a committee member.
3	Dinis Cruz	O2 Platform project leader	Nishi is going to add a lot of value to this committee. She is a good representative to the type of Industry contact OWASP needs to reach out, and the quality of her contributions to OWASP projects (like the CTB) speak for themselves
4	Anurag Agarwal	Project Leader	Nishi is very dynamic and hard working. She has practical experience in handling appsec in a big company. Her experience and knowledge is crucial in OWASP's mission
5	Greg Genung	Austin OWASP Membership Director, LASCON Board Member, and OWASP Global Connections Committee Applicant	Nishi's contributions to OWASP over the last 4 years that I have known her have been large and non-trivial. She jumps right in and supports any OWASP activity with energy for the organization and passion for her trade. Nishi was a contributor to the successful OWASP LASCON in Texas. Her professionalism, leadership, and knowledge in App-Sec makes her a shoe-in for education-related activies, especially community outreach & industry outreach.
--	Joe Bernik	Former Chapter lead and Commitee member	Nishi Welcome to the OWASP  Industry commitee and thank you for what I know will be a great contribution!
--	Alexander Fry	GIC Member	In addition to the other stellar recommendations for Nishi; she works hard, does good work, and completes projects. In the GIC, we have a large number of projects to complete and I know Nishi's contributions will be appreciated.
--	James Wickett	OWASP Austin Chapter VP, LASCON Co-Founder	Nishi was crucial to the success of LASCON and did a wonderful job on the board. She does a great job at whatever she puts her mind to. Also, she is pretty dang funny and outgoing and lets be honest, that is a rarity in the security community. I fully recommend her for this position.
--	Josh Sokol	OWASP Austin Chapter President, LASCON Co-Founder	It looks like Nishi is the single most recommended committee person in the history of OWASP and there is a reason for it. Nishi is awesome. She is smart, talented, and always willing to lend a hand. She has been a key element on our Austin board for a long time and was a crucial part of LASCON's success. She will be a valuable asset to the OWASP GIC.
--	Pravir Chandra	OpenSAMM Project Leader	Nishi is a very motivated and frequent contributor to the OWASP community through her involvement in the Summits and several OWASP educational initiatives. Her perspective coming from the financial space is also a huge asset in knowing the right messaging to engage industry as a member of the GIC.
