        I worked alongside Aamir and found him to be an outstanding professional. With his deep industry knowledge and amazingly slick communication skills he always wowed clients while still being personable and down to earth . Along with that he is also a great person and therefore very popular and respected internally too. Highly recommended.

        I started working with Aamir post Saama acquisition of Comprehend in AUgust 2019. Aamir is very articulate and knows the product very well. He understands the nuances of clinical research, the needs of the different  personas that work in clinical research and can effectively narrative how the product can be used to address their needs. He is a very good listener and takes the time to understands the needs of the customers by asking very good questions and he does it without any aggressive sales pressure. This makes the customers very comfortable and thus facilitates a partnership approach. He is very malleable and adapts very well in rapidly changing situations. I have great respect for Aamir and consider him as a true asset to any organization and team.
