        I had the opportunity to work with Arslan as both a peer and direct report over several years during our time at Oracle.  Arslan brings a strong technical and business acumen and adept at engaging with customer and internal audiences of every level.  I found him to be a collaborative teammate, strategic thinker and demonstrated great leadership as he was very effective at forming, developing and scaling high-performing teams often while leading through ambiguity and adversity.  Arslan would be a significant asset to any organization bringing his experience and skills as an effective and impactful leader of technical teams.

        I met Arslan while studying for the Stanford Decision Analysis and Risk Management Certification. He was in the same class as me and he impressed me with his leadership and team-building skills. He is very good at simplifying the issues and creating workable solutions. He was also very open to developing lasting relationships and being open to new people. Although after the class we went our separate ways, I look forward to work with Arslan some time in the near future.
