Ahmad is a focused, driven, results-oriented self-starter whose sense of urgency is tempered and disciplined by his concern for the accuracy and quality of his work. He holds himself and those he works with to exacting, ever-increasing, goals. He can react and adjust quickly to changing conditions and come up with practical ideas for dealing with them. He is an outgoing, poised person, direct and a little more authoritative than persuasive in style while being firm, direct, and self-assured when dealing with others. He speaks briskly, with confidence and conviction, particularly about matters in which he has experience. His work with startups over the past 10+ years has molded him into a strong leader who will recognize and adjust to change once identifying the need for it. He is a self-disciplined person who can do a lot with a little but has the insight to delegate routine detail work if possible, and if he does so, will follow up closely and critically to assure that the work is done in a correct and timely manner. In making decisions, he puts pressure on himself to gather the necessary information quickly, and take action without delay. This expedience is tempered by his need to ensure he's thinking first about the decision's relevance to his goal, and then the implications of such a decision on the business and the people within it. Competitive and sure of himself, Ahmad sets high standards of work quality for himself and others and is concerned with both the timely accomplishment of objectives and, to a lesser degree, the specific details of how things get done.
