Faisal’s mentoring and support was exactly what I needed to help us realise the potential I knew we had but was struggling to unlock.
The start up journey can be confusing and overwhelming. Having Faisal’s help was like someone switching on a torch. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Since joining our team Faisal has propelled the valuation of our business, closed two rounds and is a key Mentor that we call upon for strategic and legal advice.
He brings invaluable experience, perspective and structure to our decisions and direction and thus I would want him on every team I ever assemble.
I've had the privilege of collaborating with Faisal on several successful business ventures over the past five years. He has transformed my understanding of business and has become my go-to advisor for strategy.
Faisal is unwavering in his commitment to every project he takes on, even when challenges arise, which is a testament to his expertise and passion. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend working with him.
Starting with his naming our company back in 2013, we have sought Khalil’s brand development advice and design knowledge over the years at various stages of our company’s expansion.
With each shift he anticipated how we should communicate and stripped our messaging down to hit the mark. Khalil is recommended for all brand design related endeavours.
