Adnan is an exceptionally creative individual distinguished by his sharp thinking, business acumen and the ability to manage large teams, personally experienced him while working on setting the strategy 2025 of Performance Chemical SBU. His interpersonal skills are outstanding and his interactions with team has always been flawless. He is incisive, analytic and competent. He also has approachable, easy going and friendly personality. I have had the pleasure of discussing and analyzing various complex issues with Adnan on many occasions. Somehow, Adnan always manages to look at things from a different perspective and identifies the issues which one would normally overlook. His ability to logically dissect problems in smaller manageable pieces and simplify complex issues is second to none. He will be an asset for whichever organization he works for!
