Bio
🇬🇧 Umar J.
Having worked with Naweed in such a dynamic and high pressure environment has allowed me to appreciate how focussed, level headed, knowledgeable and analytical he is, coupled with the finesse and aptitude he applies to every task it's not hard to see the positive contributions he has made to a project. He has a natural tendency to inspire others to do better to striving to be the best and has been a positive influence on me. It's only natural to see him develop from strength to strength in his ability to learn and adapt his skillset to the organisational requirements presented to him, it's ingrained in him at his core as a key contributer and subject matter expert, he's one of the most determined and ambitious people I know.
Richard Fudger
Naweed proved to be a valuable asset to the finance department, with his ability to extract the required information but more importantly his skill in not only understanding the requirement but also developing and presenting the analysis with additional information available.
