Shirin is a hard-working and dedicated Program Manager who embodies the spirit and ethics of IBSS Corp. She is a people-person with a well-developed business sense, an all-rounder who is a delight to work with. She checks regularly on the teams in her portfolio, and is attentive to the needs and sensitivities of both IBSS contractors and government clients. In my experience, whenever issues arose Shirin went out of her way to resolve them so that my colleagues and I could be free to focus on doing quality work. She has a knack of knowing who to talk to when something needs to get done. She is a proactive problem-solver, staying ahead of potential issues and resolving them before they become critical.
