RECOMMENDATIONS

Salman Saleem - the process expert- has a professional attitude blended with a humble and outwitting nature. In my short tenure at
Telenor Pakistan, I found him very logical, meticulous and adept at his work. While working with him, I learned a great deal of
knowledge about the business domain. As a mentor, He has an amazing quality to impart information about the organizations
values, works and processes. He is technically very capable and carries excellent soft skills. Be it conversing with the technology
team or gathering requirements from clients I always found him maintain his composure. He is a talented and creative individual,
always keen to learn and improve his skill set. He bags the title of the only CCBA in Pakistan. He is a 'must-have' resource for any
organization. I wish him luck for all his future endeavors.

RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON EDUCATION

At Institute of Business Management - Business Administration

Salman is the type of student who always takes the initiative to help out fellow students who may not quite grasp the material, and
he does so in a way that is neither condescending nor boisterous. Though he is aware of his own intelligence, as evidenced by his
willingness to challenge himself with projects/reports and extra credit work, he has an air of modesty about him that makes him
approachable and well-liked among his classmates.
