I was working under Mr. Saleh Atiq Al Qahtani (Project General Manager) for a Multibillion dollar mega Project – IBN RUSHD II. Many of the issues, we have solved together in a very simplified manner, without any bureaucratic hick-ups. He brings his vast knowledge to the team. He constantly thinks how we can work more efficiently and effectively and when he sees a need, he would make recommendations about how to improve certain work processes. He is very articulate in handling Contractors and vendors. He posses an excellent negotiating skill and he always makes successful attempts to achieve economical and time-bound solution to supposed to be most complicated issues. Mr. Saleh is a professional that any company desires to have. He uses his professional experience to manage and execute projects effectively. Mr. Saleh’s passion to exceed expectations & execute time-constrained projects is amazing. He is one of the few professionals who is strong technically & also having excellent managerial capability. He has the ability & skills to get along with people from multicultural backgrounds. He will be an asset to any organization and time will prove this. I wish him all the best of luck in whatever he do.

I knew Saleh during my work in the projects as engineering manager. From business perspective, Saleh enjoys excellent leadership skills demonstrated in his strategic thinking while looking at business aspects. This vision and his focus on final target, putting client satisfaction in front of his eyes, enabled him to make the balance between aggressive project progress demand and stringent time consuming technical requirements. He is a very good listener and focused. From personality perspective, working with Saleh is unique experience. Saleh interaction is simple and clear to the extent you make relation with him from the first meeting. Knowing him more will make to like him more and feel like he is a brother to you. It’s been more than six months since I left Saleh’s organization and I still have a very close relation with him. I sincerely wish Saleh all success in his carrier.

This letter is my personal recommendation for Saleh Al-Qahtani. I have known Saleh for the past year while he has worked as a project manager in Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC). I have been consistently impressed by both Saleh's attitude towards his work and his performance on the job. His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with both managers and subordinates. He also has the analytical skills to diagnose problems and devise viable solutions. Besides being a joy to work with, Saleh is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits.
