Imran was widely regarded as one of the strongest Delivery Managers in the company, and that has been my experience also. He is a natural leader who is outstanding at making things happen, and happen effectively. He coaches well, unblocks bureaucracy and continually refines processes to improve velocity and efficiency. Imran is a former software engineer himself and is able to use those skills to understand the needs and output of the team, in order to ensure that the highest quality work is delivered in the fastest possible time. I recommend Imran without reservation for any role he has seen fit to apply for.
