I have always found Qamar to be very capable in terms of project delivery and relationship management. Qamar has excellent interpersonal skills and has built strong relationships with customers and suppliers alike. Qamar is an effective Project Manager capable of managing complex, multi task projects. A very dedicated and hard-working individual, with excellent technical capability. An asset to any team. I look forward to working with him again sometime in the future.
