Its been an absolute pleasure and great experience to know and work very closely with Mr. Waleed, during couple of projects especially Internal Line Website Design & Development and SEO projects which is still in progress. He’s like a unicorn - he carries unique qualities that are extremely rare and valuable, I found him extremely professional and efficient with a consistent and positive outlook, which has led to a successful partnership. As far as I know he has consistently brought new revenue-generating business opportunities to each company he has worked for and I witnessed him conduct focus groups, on-board clients, and lay out marketing efforts. In all cases, I've seen him excel. His product suggestions are well-formed and on-target. Mr Waleed is always willing to make things happen through his ever-curious intellect, tireless hustle, and force of will. He has an unquenchable thirst for creating business value, and an innate sense for innovation. He’s a great judge of character, able to both identify talent and inspire them to contribute at their peak.

This person is a living legend with a diversified experience in Sales & Marketing. Under his guidance I learned a lot of things and still I'm improving my self day by day. He is like a mentor to me & I believe who ever gets a chance to work with him, he is one of the luckiest person in this world :) It's been said that "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way" and this is really what Mr.Waleed is.
