It gives me immense pleasure in recommending my long time friend Mr. Kaveh Moraghebi. I know him since 1995, when we both pursuing out education at Isafahan University of Technology. Kaveh not only was a successful student, but he was also involved in many student activities and organizations. However, our professional relationship was started in 2005, when Kaveh was a trainer and guide in the implementation Quality Management Systems based on ISO/TS 16949 and Lean Six Sigma initiatives for SAIPA, one of the two big automakers in Iran. I was serving as the manager of the part design department at the moment. He is a bright and hardworking businessman and gentleman who is an expert in Quality Management tools & systems. Therefore, I recommend Kaveh without any reservation for any quality management position.
