Karim A is a .. Colleagues describe him as "Karim is one of the most kindest and sharpest guys, I’ve had the privilege of knowing. His intellectual capability and work ethic makes him an amazing coach. I consider him a dear friend and a mentor." and "Karim and I were teammates for several coursework-related assignments at Rotman, and much credit goes to him for the outstanding grades we scored in our group assignments. His intelligence, wit and willingness to work hard while also ensuring that everybody in the team was up to speed with key concepts made working with him a wonderful experience. He not only grasped the subject matter quickly but also explained difficult concepts in a very articulate fashion. His diligence, thoroughness and attention to detail inspired me and other team members to put our best foot forward. He always ensured we arrived at the right and complete solutions, and also took it upon himself to ensure that all the team members understood the subject. His wit and sense of humour ensured that team meetings were not only productive but also a whole lot of fun. I absolutely enjoyed working with Karim and look forward to teaming up with him again in future."
