        I had the opportunity to work with Ahmad for past 8 months on LoyalWallet, a crypto-wallet being build and deployed by Loyalcoin/ Appsolutely. I am impressed with his firm grasp of both business and technical issues revolving the project. He has good listening skill, which with his analytical mind and his background results to issues and development blocks being resolved almost immediately. Ahmad also knows how to give voice to his people and the market, balancing both employees needs and business requirements. Overall, he is a superb leader, one that I would like to work with again in the future.  Sherif Elshayeb
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        I have known Ahmad since we were classmates at the University of Kentucky.  Ahmad is a great problem solver able to focus on the big picture without missing any of the low-level details.  Ahmad’s intelligence, work ethics, team spirit, and positive attitude have always been a source of inspiration in our group.  To this day, Ahmad and I remain great friends and colleagues.
