Maneeza’s creative thinking, expertise, positive can-do attitude and drive as an HR professional made her an absolute pleasure to work with. She continually delivered results, went above and beyond in providing exceptional service and support, and showed genuine integrity and respect as a service provider. Maneeza is enthusiastic, personable and a brilliant networker. Her strengths in staying across issues, pro-actively offering solutions and ideas and being adept at all aspects of communications make her a valuable contributor to any situation or team. I meet many outstanding people in my profession, yet I seldom come across someone who is so approachable and as down to earth as Maneeza. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with her.

Maneeza has a dynamic personality which is quite amazing, her energy and enthusiasm towards her work is unmatched. She single handily managed the induction plan for 2012 new Graduates and put in extra hours to make sure that the deadlines were met. Owing to her vibrant personality she can execute multitasking and challenging assignments in various situations and circumstances. I wish her best of luck for her future endeavours.
