Bio
Ben Franklin
I have known Nishanth for a very long time now, both professionally and personally. He is a professional par excellence, personable and an extremely knowledgeable business consultant, who builds some of the strongest business relationships that I have had the pleasure of witnessing as a Business Associate and Peer in the last 5 years. As a skillful Business Development Manager for AL Mazro Group, He asks ‘tough’ questions, specific to business needs. These insightful questions have led me to take much more effective action. I have met the goals I set for my BU and myself far more expediently than I would have thought possible. His strategic mind and critical thinking ability to provide an impartial, solutions-oriented approach have always rendered support to work closely with clients and stake-holders at all levels. Nishanth’s prowess in JVs and investment evaluations has been extraordinarily successful in building new partnerships with decorated top international brands in Consulting, Retail, Logistics, and Petrochemicals industries. He has also proven his skills in sales for Camelot, by tendering and winning highly competitive consulting projects, especially with various Saudi Government Institutions. Lastly, Nishanth is truly a lovely person to be around who goes that extra mile to ensure client satisfaction and long lasting relationships. If you are seeking for growth, change, and transformation in your professional business, I would recommend taking advantage of Nishanth’s experience for assistance.
