Taha is a great team player and is always willing to assist others. He is a great communicator, negotiator and knows public procurement extremely well. I have seen him manage competing priorities at the same time and complete them by the deadline set out for him. He is very knowledgeable within business and supply chain management and is very motivated to continuously learn.
