Shivan Sihota
I have had the pleasure of working with Mir from the client side both at HSBC and DISH. While at HSBC Mir flawlessly led various research driven projects which helped the firm establish strategic direction in pursuing its multicultural audience. At DISH, I worked with Mir on several integrated marketing campaigns where he was a guiding force in reigniting our S. Asian brand and providing creative solutions to our many challenges - All of which helped make the needle move in a very competitive market. Mir is a well rounded individual who not only has the necessary interpersonal/project management skills to work with large Fortune 500 companies but also the drive and creativity to truly make a difference!

I am happy to recommend Mir Akhgar in any capacity, as I have observed him to be a focused, driven student and a budding professional. Mir is considerate and thoughtful of his peers. Additionally, he approached his studies as one who is excited to learn and absorb new material. This will serve him well in his professional endeavors, where being a quick learner and adapting to a new environment are required; I am confident that Mir will rise to any challenge placed before him.
