Bio
Rachel L. Tillman, SHRM-CP, LPCC, LCPC
I met Sufyan through a Muslim, LGBTQ, and Latinx initiative to combat hate violence. Sufyan's hosting and hospitality continued to foster the group's growth and development. A capable and persistent leader, Sufyan is decisive while exercising respect, calm in the face of chaos, and approachable in seemingly hostile terrain. To have him advocate for you is to know that you will be prioritized, honored, and heard. He is amazingly parsimonious in his ability to sift through and distill what is crucial. I highly recommend him for any organizational development, advocacy, community organization, training, and teaching needs.

Besides being a great person to work with, Sufyan is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. He had successfully developed a marketing plan for my team at the time that had resulted in increased revenue. The new revenue was a direct result of the plans implemented by Sufyan. Though he was an asset to our marketing efforts, Sufyan was also extraordinarily helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to writing effective plan for sales, Sufuan assumed a leadership role in the office, inspiring and motivating other employees. I highly recommend Sufyan for employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.
