We’ve worked together under three different entities, each unique to its own tasks and demands. I can safely say that I highly recommend Khalifa based on these 3 qualities that I have seen from him: 1. Leadership: Khalifa is known to take on a lead role in anything he does. He is always keen on taking on bigger responsibilities than is required. He always strives to steer the team in the same direction. Not only that, but he is also known for the immense help he provides for his colleagues, he makes sure no one is left behind unnoticed and is always a key team player. On example I could think of was at Expo 2020 when Khalifa volunteered to take on 2 roles at the same time. Although a tough task, he was the mediator between two different entities and was a successful one I should say. No one else volunteered as it was too much of a big responsibility to handle, however Khalifa did not hesitate at all. 2. Organization and Time Management: Khalifa is no doubt one of the most organized individuals I have met. Not only does he have a tool for everything he does, but he centralizes his whole work and schedule in which it is impossible to forget anything. Khalifa documents and archives evert single detail of his work. When I started working with him at DEWA, he single handedly designed an organizational webpage for our entire department using a new software tool called Notion. This improved everyone’s time management skill and increased the efficiency within the entire department. Khalifa designed, managed and integrated the whole thing within days. It made the whole team’s life much easier. The point is, Khalifa is a team player. He is up to date with all the software and tech, he will not think twice about implementing and utilizing whatever it takes to increase team efficiency and work ethic. 3. Mentorship: As my mentor at DEWA, Khalifa taught me how to think for myself, broaden my knowledge and how to face difficult situations. Khalifa, as opposed to my previous mentors, designed a program for me to learn the job on my own. Instead of bombarding me with information, he took his time to really assess how I view things, and apply that to my program as to personalize it more. He conveys lessons and important information in an effective manner. He has taught me how to approach problems within the scope of my work, how to deal with them and most importantly how to solve them. He summarized all the information he learned in the past 3 years of his career and transferred the knowledge to me in a short period of time. I was able to excel in my understating of the job thank to Khalifa. Having worked alongside him, I can confidently recommend Khalifa as a hard working individual who is invested in his work, passionate and driven by ambition. "
