Worked on the project regarding mall online maps for the biggest mall in the world, The Dubai Mall. Very detailed, focused with superb digital skills. Khalid is very passionate about his work and he puts a lot of time and effort to complete the project with outstanding quality.
Khalid is a highly analytical individual. Being of a calm composure he is never hesitant in asking the right questions. I have closely worked with Khalid on a project and found him very friendly and focused on goals. Khalid can be a good addition to any team.
Khalid is my first manager when I worked in AIMIA (Rewards Management Middle East) and I can absolutely say that he is my one of the best managers I’ve ever had. He manages his people in a way that empowers them to become an asset in the company. When you did awesome job he would not reserve compliments. He maintains his composure in times of pressure and his sharp judgment on critical issues facing the team is always reliable. He has earned the respect among his peers and his seamless work on project such as when the company has implemented it’s first “Miles Expiry” gave him constant accolades across the organization.
Lastly, his technical prowess and leadership skills make him a manager that anyone can be proud of.
Detail oriented is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Khalid. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Khalid for 4 years, during which Khalid was leading IT team for Air Miles Middle East. I’m lucky to have worked with Khalid and was hired by him, a manager who’s not only interested in the company’s bottom line, but also in his employees’ professional growth.
If you want the straight answer and the honest truth about anything, then Khalid is your man. I worked with Khalid on several projects and he rarely said “no this cannot be done” as he always found a creative solution to deliver on a complex project. He is also a pleasure with work and very dedicated.
I am blessed to have a great mentor in Mark Mortimer-Davies who introduced me to the valuable lesson of embracing the 4 Ls in my career, and life in general. Full …
