I worked with Hazem for more than three years in my career as partner account manager. Hazem is extremely smart and has an impressive knowledge in the IT industry, he also never hesitates to share his knowledge with everyone around him. His passion for his job is inspirational, and I really learned from working with him. I can say that being customer focused is one of his talents. I would recommend Hazem for any organization that is looking for acceleration.
