Bio
Frank Lavery
I have known and worked in partnership with Ashraf in his time at BMHC for many years. His help and support in positioning the services we were providing and encouraging his service users to engage with us was crucial for the projects success. In addition Ashrafs calm and intelligent approach to planning and strategy provided crucial guidance during the initial phase of the StartSmart program with BMHC.
Anis Gouissem
I have worked with Ashraf at the same organisation for several years. Ashraf’s exceptional leadership and managerial skills and his ability to build strategic partnerships have been pivotal to the organisation’s development and growth. Ashraf always sees the ‘bigger picture’, thinks strategically and outside the box. He has a lot of patience and empathy, has excellent emotional intelligence and is able to effectively read people and adapt management styles to get the best out of them. No matter how tense a meeting, Ashraf made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Ashraf earns my highest recommendation.
