While working with Raza, a few things stood out to me about him. He was the hardest working one in the room and if he wasn't, he was pushed to be by seeing what others were doing. He had a hunger for success that few match but many are inspired from. When Raza is on his A game, people listen and watch because few match his energy and his drive to get things done. He is a natural leader through his actions. In my time at Trend Hunter, Raza took the time to sit down with me multiple times and guide me in ways that I will always appreciate. He listened, he guided and he was always one of the ones that I felt comfortable to reach out to if I had any issues. He never talked down, he never made any issue or myself feel small. He was open to any question, issue or even criticism I had. He was always someone I knew I could count on day in and day out. Anyone would be lucky to work with Raza. Not only has Raza been a great friend but he's also a great co-worker and mentor.

Raza has seen great success as he has worked his way up into a senior position on our sales team at Trend Hunter. From day one, Raza stood out amongst his peers as a consistent contributor - always putting in the work and going the extra mile. He outshone his peers when it came to activity numbers, often putting in time after working hours to reach his contacts in different time zones. He is a very driven and highly motivated individual who hits his quotas and is always hungry for more. I think one of the most admirable things about Raza is his curiosity - he is curious with his prospects which makes him a great salesperson but he also brings this curiosity to our internal meetings and asks thoughtful and important questions. You can always count on a question from Raza :) Raza is a hardworking and passionate salesperson who will succeed at whatever he puts his mind to!
