Recommendations
" Having had the pleasure of working with Jawad previously, I jumped at the chance to hire him at Tesco. His work is simply outstanding. In a fast paced, highly demanding project within FinTech there are few others who compare. His dedication and years of experience bring a fresh approach in any environment.
Jawad's leadership coaching style ensures that he brings the team up to the highest standards of performance. I hope that I'm fortunate enough to work with him for a 3rd time!"
