Bio
Muhammad Umer Saghir Akhtar
Aggression, Stimulation are some of the names, which can be easily associated with Qamar Saleem. A passionate individual, fine gentleman, an aggressive Team player, and well balanced in his area of the domain. Qamar is the kind of employee companies wish to have, can be trusted in terms of Assignment handling and left over things to be taken care of. Since our acquaintance, I have seen serious urge in him to deliver, and with a BANG. Someone, who takes responsibility of the task assigned and amazes you with the end deliverables. Sharo at picking new things, strong analytical and interpersonal skills, and a lot of room to grasp, learn and improvise on facing new challenges. I have found him more of an individualist rather than a team player, mostly because of the fact that people normally tends to lack catching him up. A true asset and certainly a must have for any organization within his area ofo the domain. I wish the vesy best of what life can offer to this fine individual, overcome his shortcomings (which I have firm faith he will In sha ALLAH) and reach the highest levels which he deserves. Stay blessed always.

I m working with Mr. Qamar Saleem found him tremendously valuable. He demonstrates a high degree of expertise and his presentation is clear and immediately actionable. He is sensitive to others that do not have the on-line visual. In addition, his style is open and inviting to questions & expressed appreciation for them and willingly gives his time to responding to questions thoroughly. He is extremely passionate about his work which is infectious. I certainly would recommend him strongly. Thanks Best Regards, KHALID USMANI
