It was a great pleasure to work with Faiz. He is such an intelligent, hardworking and dedicated guy who never being tired to deliver the quality works on time. He knows the magic of 360 degree of analysis and his analysis always demonstrates the insight for the betterment of the business. Most importantly, anyone can take decision based on his analysis blindly. His reporting and presentation skills are also commendable. I have seen so many models developed by him which are now the only sources of taking all the business decisions. Not only that, all those models are so dynamic that anyone can take the advantage of these models by just clicking the enter button to get the concise data the way the management wants to see. He is such a charismatic guy that he never sees people around him unhappy. His presence in the office gave us the feelings of homely and friendly environment. He is a very good leader too and he knows how to handle the critical situations as well as of taking the right decisions at the right moment. Moreover, he possesses a very good quality of developing the others which I have seen rarely in those people who at the same time are very good at their fields as well as being the good mentor. One thing is noticeable that his supervision helped many people to build the capacity in them and now all of them are working in better positions in leading organizations. In one phrase, he is one of the greatest leaders and subject matter experts who can be the best fit in any organizations. My best wishes are always with him for his glorious and prosperous life…nevertheless, we will always miss him…all the best…
