It is my privilege to recommend Gaby Machaalany to you for the position of Senior IT Support at Debbane Group. His leadership and communication skills when working with staff are near flawless, and his knowledge and expertise in the IT arena are second to none. He is highly qualified to handle more than is currently required of him. He is an extremely effective manager with superior organizational skills. When Gaby assembles his team for an initial project meeting, he already has a firm course of action in place with a contingency plan ready in the event of unforeseen circumstances. One of Gaby’s particular talents is motivating and energizing his IT team. He is an expert at determining each team member’s strengths and weaknesses and delegating work accordingly. He gets the most out of his resources and works alongside them in the trenches as each deadline approaches. He has always completed tasks on time turning in quality work of the highest standards. He gives credit to team members and always expresses his appreciation. Gaby is well-liked and respected by his entire IT team and will be sorely missed. It is with mixed emotions that I assist Gaby in moving on to the next professional chapter in his career. I want to see Gaby reach his maximum potential in the IT world. Please consider Gaby Machaalany for the available position in IT that fit his skills. I am confident you will be pleased with his ability and his professionalism. Please contact me if you have questions or wish to further discuss his qualifications at +961 70 462616 or via email: bassamghorayeb@gmail.com Sincerely, Bassam Ghorayeb
