Bio
Limrah R.
Ahmed and I have crossed paths a number of times professionally over the past 10 years. Often it would be when a client of mine would require consulting expertise to re-shape their organization's strategy to help them win in their market, conduct extensive market research and analytics to justify a strategic business decision, or to coach them on leadership, how to get the best out of their team, and how to structure the team and operations to do so. Ahmed was able to provide solutions backed by his clients data to support the meaningful strategies he would offer. His high level of business acumen coupled by his sharp analytical skills is what any business could use to disrupt their target market. He is humble with his achievements, a quality I seek when working with business professionals. Now owning a consulting firm, I am looking forward to his success in the coming years.

It’s rare to come across someone as dedicated to team cohesion as Ahmed. I had the pleasure of working with him on multiple engagements during my time at EY where his commitment to the development of his team shined in all situations, making him a favourite of mine to work with. Ahmed’s charismatic and gregarious personality enabled him to build strong relationships with clients and teammates at all levels of the organization. In addition to this, Ahmed has a natural ability to uncover and communicate a clear path forward in ambiguous situations, an invaluable skill in complex consulting engagements. I believe Ahmed would be a strong asset to any team.
