Bio
Imraan Masoom
I was employed as a Junior Project Controller when Gabor became our CFO of the company. Instantly, I had grown fond of his warm personality, humorous nature, and attitude towards challenges. He is an immensely likeable character that you want to be around – especially in tough times with a lot of pressure, as you can always count on him to look after his employees and to single-handedly create an uplifting atmosphere. At the same time, you always felt motivated and wanted to do more as an individual and as a team. It cannot be easy, yet he always made it seem so; He never showed signs of his spirit cracking or his grip loosening in pulling the company and his team forward. Additionally, he possesses a lot of knowledge, a wide array of skills and competence within many areas of business disciplines. He is quickly able to put himself in any situation and understand the inner workings of the environment, foresee the risks, and formulate appropriate solutions that all parties can agree on. He would not hesitate to learn new skills when venturing into unfamiliar territory. Although our collaboration has ended, he has left a profound mark on me. I continue to be inspired by him and strive to become as skilled and as great of a leader – when and if my time comes. Wherever his journey may take him, whichever company he may go to, whoever may be working for and with him, I am certain he will continue to inspire, lead, and leave a noble legacy.
