Amir successfully combines his financial skills with good strategic thinking and a hands-on commercial approach. He was a key member of the acquisition team who drove significant growth of the business at a time of change in the industry. I would certainly work with him again.

Manny Matharu

Amir is a very bright commercial and financial analyst, able to identify the key issues in a deal quickly, simplify and explain complex matters and suggest solutions/actions where appropriate. He is hardworking, relates to and deals with people at all levels, internal and external, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires a good financial brain. I would certainly work with Amir again.
