Ajmal Abdulsamad
Global Value Chains and Finance, Project Officer at International Trade Centre
Master of Civil Engineering, E.I.
For the past 18+ years I have managed projects in civil infrastructure, energy, business strategy, international trade, and competitiveness in global supply chains. Three years ago I decided to reroute and pursue a career in structural engineering. So, I obtained my master's in civil engineering and E.I. certification to embark on the exciting journey.

quality comprehensive work but he has always been an outstanding teammate and reliable contributor. Ajmal will be successful in whatever he puts his ambitions to and has the tools to accomplish his goals.
