“I have worked with Mehdi on two large and complex global programs over the last 4 years, during which time he has shown himself to be highly intelligent, creative, and focused with a great attention to detail. Mehdi’s technical and organisational strengths led us to assign him some particularly challenging engagements – not just technically but politically. Mehdi kept focused throughout, and was extremely self-driven. I admire his skills and his energy, and I know that his talents will lead him far in his career. I would be very comfortable recommending Mehdi for new and challenging roles in any organization.”
