Bio
Abdullah Al-Mehdar, CPA
I have worked with Mena on numerous mandates and I always found him to be dedicated, well-organized, and hardworking individual. Mena looks at the bigger picture and is able to think outside the box in order to provide value added solutions. He possesses a unique combination of technical knowledge combined with interpersonal skills that make him an exceptional employee. I highly recommend Mena for any future challenges that may be appointed to him
Stephanie B.
I had the pleasure of working with Mena in the CMA Strategic Leadership Program over the course of two years. Mena proved himself to be a highly competent individual, with the capacity not only to provide excellent work on his own, but also to inspire excellence from others. His standards were high, but he was always willing to lend a helping hand to others to coach them and help them deliver their best work. He was an invaluable teammate and I have no doubt he would inspire excellence at any organization.
