Sir Irfan Awan is a proactive and tireless contributor who would make a great addition to any team. He is also one of those rare managers who also naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for the whole staff. Sir Irfan exhibits strong interpersonal skills and a unique capacity for empathy and selflessness. These qualities most notably translate in his ability to motivate a team to care about Organization and be invested in the Company’s success. In other words, he doesn’t just create something that looks visually pleasing, but he also makes sure that it reflects in the values of our organization.
