Neeta Buhecha - Channel Manager EMEA - NinjaRMM

Neeta did away with a lucrative career in corporate law in favour of studying Norwegian and Computer Science alongside teenagers. She is accordingly well versed in optimising her work to minimal stress levels and has a surprisingly broad knowledge of teenage vernacular. Neeta likes to use her hard-earned business and computer skills to make things work seamlessly and is a big fan of automation. Neeta joined NinjaRMM predominantly to have “Ninja” on her business cards, but she has come to discover how useful NinjaRMM is to aiding productivity, so she counsels stressed IT professionals on how to optimise their workflows not just through use of the product, but in their other business practices too. Her main tip? If you can get through Rainbow Road without swearing, you have achieved inner peace.
