I had the pleasure of working with Zeeshan for 2 years. He has excellent leadership skills. He encourages, nurtures and promotes team member who report to him. He is calm, thoughtful and analytical in his approach to challenges. His positive attitude to developing solutions and contingency plans have saved my company from facing major issues. Most of all, I admire his ability to build and maintain relationships. At the end of the day, we are as good as the relationships we can nurture with our colleagues and clients.
