In the process, Alioune stood head and shoulders above all the applications. And once on the job, he did not disappoint in terms of value creation and fit in the organization. Over the years I have come to know Alioune as both a colleague and a friend, and I am constantly impressed by his character and his ability to engage the world with such openness, curiosity, and intentionality. As a colleague, Alioune has always been a generous team member, who is able to deliver high-quality work under pressure, while also being supportive towards others on the team. He is also extremely industrious and conscientious. He diligently puts in the time and effort to ensure that he delivers high-quality work, even if it means sacrificing sleep. Alioune also has a very intentional, reflective practice and as such is very self-aware and attuned. He also has an exceptional growth mindset and is constantly willing to learn and grow. He is one of the few individuals that I know who is not only open to feedback but makes a conscious effort to seek it out. I have also had the privilege of observing Alioune as a facilitator and have been genuinely impressed by his ability to deeply connect and build trust with students in his class. He carries the same approach in how he builds relationships outside the classroom. Alioune has the ability to genuinely connect with people from different walks of life. He is a gifted listener who really seeks to understand where people are coming from while asking thoughtful questions. He also carries a genuinely humble and present disposition that makes it hard to not like him. " and "Alioune is a phenomenal leader and a pleasant colleague to work with. Throw any challenge at him and Mr. Fall’s calm demeanor and resolve helps find solutions in an empathetic and thoughtful manner that is beyond his years. I am honored to have worked with him at African Leadership University and look forward to celebrating in his successes in the very near future!"
