        Aamir, is one of the most sincere hard-working professional I have ever worked with. With his exceptional agility to learn, dedication, being attentive to details, his unique communication and interpersonal skills make him a well-rounded and asset to any organization.

I truly had the pleasure to work with Aamir over a period of 2.5 years where was a Senior Brand Manager and then a Franchise Medical Manager for the most complex, highly competitive and demanding therapeutic area. He should great sense of responsibility, team spirituality and sincere peer-to-peer partnership.

I do value all his contribution to the Medical Affairs, PV and Clinical Operations we built together in Saudi Arabia between 2011-2013 Imran Alam Dar
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I was privileged to work with Aamir while at Merck Inc. As a Product Manager, Aamir was very successful in harnessing the power of the team. His marketing ideas-tailored for the local market-were far more effective than the global marketing concepts & guidelines, provided by the Head-office. His brilliant career, post-Merck, is a testament to his medical & marketing expertise. I wish him even more success.
