Amira Abdel Rahman

Ahmed was one of the best employees I have ever dealt with, not only on the professional level but on the personal as well, he is very well educated, very humble, prompt and accurate not to mention his eagerness to learn and develop. I am lucky to have had you among my team one day..good luck and to more and more success.

Ahmed is a true trainer who has the confidence to stand alone and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He has a unique ability to listen to each person and discover their needs and empowers their capabilities. He is a professional, calm, experienced trainer who goes the extra mile in delivering his knowledge and experience to his trainees.

Rarely do I see individuals like this gentleman. Ahmed is a brother, a friend and a confidant for 20+ years, and I write this with pride. He is one of the most important sources of motivation and guidance to me and those who are around him. His approach to coaching and leading is truly inspiration. I've personally learned a lot from Ahmed in the fields of finance, accounting and leadership, his exceptional knowledge, eloquence and patience is truly amazing. I highly recommend Ahmed to work for any organization looking for someone knowledgable with leadership qualities
