Lean/Six Sigma Lead - Middle EastColleague

I worked closely with Mahmoud as his mentor through his Lean/Six Sigma GreenBelt certification project: Mahmoud demonstrated impressive ability to learn fast and selectively apply Lean/Six Sigma tools with unwavering focus to drive business results. Mahmoud also proved his ability to lead a diversified cross-functional project team and effectively draw appropriate sponsorship when required. His project was the fastest to completion during the 2007-2009 timeframe.
