Bio
Lacey Montague
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sass for several years. He delivered significant value to the business and our customers whilst acting in both a programme and product management capacity, and as a valuable expert within our strategy team. He is one of the most diligent and passionate people I have worked with.
Chris Lucas
Sassan reported to me, leading up the Business Analysis workstream in a very pressurised programme in the energy sector. Sassan was diligent, energised and passionate, often working extremely long hours without prompting or request, to ensure that he and his team provided optimal delivery. Over and above all of this, Sassan would consider elements outside of the agreed scope of work, without detriment to delivery timescales. I would often look at these inputs with an initial reaction of "Why is that important or relevant?" - and after explanation (and almost without exception) I would be extremely grateful that Sassan had raised the issue. An extremely valuable skillset. On a personal basis, I enjoyed working with him and would be very happy to do so again in the future.
