Bio
Clare Wellnitz
I worked with Aziz on licensing several products. Aziz was always the consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He was expert at finding and acquiring good electronic products. He was creative and resourceful in proposing terms and compromises that would conclude a successful deal. He was reliable and efficient in pulling together the final stages of signing off on a license. He spent a great deal of time personally meeting with our staff to elucidate for us the business and goals of Answers.com and persuaded us of the quality of the company. I look forward to working with Aziz in a new role soon. He would be an invaluable asset to any company.

Competent, hard working and knowledgeable are terms that best describe Aziz. Naturally born leader, he leads by example. Aziz gets the best performance out of you by describing exactly what he wants, setting the expectations high, and leaving room for your input and creativity. Tough but fair is another way to put it. You feel like putting your best effort every time, he will expect it from you, but at the same time creativity, individual input and problem solving are encouraged and rewarded. Aziz was one of the best Managers I ever worked for. I felt appreciated, motived to my best performance and given opportunity for growth.
