I know Ahmad for the last six years. I worked with him at 3W Networks. He demonstrates tremendous skills in the areas of Program Management and cross-functional team Leadership. His learning curve was impressive. He absorbed information like a sponge and immediately made an impact. His ability to manage complex projects is second to none. Ahmad pulled together a highly matrix team and satisfied the customers’ needs. He is also a trusted team player in international and multi-cultural environments. Ahmad would be an asset to any organization looking for an experienced PMO professional.
