Colleagues describe him as "Recently, I had the privilege of working with Khalid on two very different projects. The first was an international acquisition. The client had accelerated the timeline and Khalid was brought into the project to ensure that we could meet the new deadline. I was impressed with how quickly he came up to speed, even more with his technical skills – he’s a bit of a wizard when it comes to Excel modeling, data analytics and visualization. He developed a tool that allowed the client to model different organizational designs with cost projections. It was an elegant and intuitive tool. Not only was I impressed, so was the client.
The second project was an organizational restructuring; however, I was the one brought into the project to assist while Khalid attended other obligations. He ensured that I had all the technical background required. He also provided guidance on the organization’s culture and working style, essentially guaranteeing that I would be successful. He remained on call should anything come up – it didn’t as he had prepared me so well. Khalid returned to the project and as the mandate expanded, I stayed on. In this instance, I saw Khalid’s ability to navigate the client’s changing priorities with both grace and speed, his notable design skills, especially in PowerPoint, as well as his story-telling ability, a key deliverable for this particular project.
Khalid’s technical skills and soft skills appear to be in perfect balance. He works easily with ambiguity, and can find structure and direction to guide his clients to workable solutions. He’s also a delight to work with.", "I've had the pleasure of working with Khalid on several projects. His deep subject matter expertise in org design & change management helped shape the strategy and execution on these engagements.
