Bio
Mohammed Shehata
I do t usually do recommendations on LinkedIn, but I made an exception for Zaur, because he is exceptional. I have worked with Zaur over a 5 year period, during different phases of the various projects across Expo2020 and Expo City and have greatly valued his considerable input to the technology team in each case. Each project and phase have had unique challenges but Zaur is one of those people who will find solutions and get the job done no matter what. He has an amazing capacity to work under pressure and get stuff done in a structured and organised way. Zaur is an excellent strategic thinker, result and performance oriented team member. Besides technical knowledge Zaur has strong leadership qualities and team management abilities. He managed the team knowing that each member is an individual. Zaur is highly recommended and has great transferable skills.

I have known Zaur for four years. I have been consistently impressed with his attitude and productivity during the time that he has worked in the project. I am confident that he will devote himself to a position with any organization with a high degree of diligence. Zaur has demonstrated the ability to articulate information and ideas in both the verbal and written forms. Zaur has also been effective in his efforts to engage the my team during services activations. Zaur always reach out to people and involve them with projects and solutions. I particularly appreciate Zaur willingness to take initiative to help the office serve its constituents more fully. I recommend Mr Zaur without reservation. I am confident that he will be productive and outstanding performer in any organization
