Khalil Arouni
Business Growth Accelerator
Shariff was a great asset to us in UM Riyadh. He handled the digital unit with UM Saudi Arabia and was directly involved in Key Accounts, namely Jawwy and McDonald's. He is not only knowledgeable but what differentiates him is his creativity. Shariff also supported his team, motivated them, and shared knowledge. Most importantly, he inspected their work to ensure they deliver on time. He was an integral part of the team. I wish all the best in his future endeavours.
Piotr Lysak
Head of Marketing & Digital at flyadeal
Shariff has been our Media go-to guy during the preparations for the launch of a new generation telco, Jawwy. We have used exclusively digital and social channels and Shariff has brought a great added value to our approach. As startups go, we have had many iterations of our thinking. Our partners had to be on their toes at all times, showing both agility and patience. Shariff has topped it up with lots of smarts and dedication. A very good guy to have around, highly recommended.

Shariff, i hope you carry on with the same intensity and take the business to a remarkable position in the region.
