Ali and I worked together, he was handling the Front Office Manager of Golden Tulip Sharjah. Equally, he was the consultant for Front Office operations. He is definitely a team builder and a team player as he produced top quality hotel staff. I am truly proud to commend Ali for his exemplary performance for hotel operations and I recommend him for his future endeavour.
