TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
In my entire career, I never had the pleasure and honor to work with anybody
similar out of the engineering fields. Be it the stunning knowledge in any
field you can imagine, be it the drive to achieve results and to finalize duties
on time, be it to have somebody who openly shares his point of view and be it
to accept as well to devote everything to the bigger picture - this is Mr.
Ahmed Moharam. If I would need again an Area Director of Engineering, I
would not hesitate to contact him again to give me the honor to work with
him again.
