What people say about Amal

I have had the pleasure of working with Amal and having front row seats in seeing how she masters the art of getting it done. A natural born leader. One who approaches every assignment, be it strategic or tactical, with devotion and passion.

Amal is an energetic, driven person who has a passion for entrepreneurship and expects the best possible performance from herself and all those around her. She understands people and business, however, her strength lies in finding the synergy between both.

Being able to communicate and connect with different stakeholders is, I believe, also part of her leadership style. I have seen Amal switch between communication styles and approaches matching her audience without compromising on the envisioned end result. This as she always keeps her "eye on the prize".

As we worked together in a high-paced, dynamic environment across different projects, I can truly say that Amal is very good in bringing order in chaos, thinking in solutions, processes and getting the best out of people. I have experienced her as being very approachable, a great patient coach and an overall talented business woman. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Amal for almost 2 years at the Access to Medicine Foundation. During this time I got to know her as an enthusiastic, hardworking and result-driven colleague. She proved to be an all-round financial specialist, with good knowledge of bookkeeping, statutory reporting and audits.

During her time at the Foundation, she took care of different projects and always maintained the highest standard. A good example was managing the statutory annual reporting process. Also, Amal can adopt new procedures very quickly and is open to learn more about her field of working.

With respect to her personality, Amal can best be described as a very social, caring and helpful person who motivates and encourages you to make the best of what you do. Her honest opinion and critical point of view made her a positive addition to the team.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the invaluable guidance and support I received from Amal the last year. She truly helped me take the scary leap forward and embark on the journey of starting my own business abroad. 

Her business expertise, insight, and strategic vision were like a compass that guided me through the scary and complex world of entrepreneurship. With her ‘mentorship’, I gained the confidence to translate my ideas into action and to face challenges head-on. In her approach she not only just provides solutions but also empowers me with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions. She also has the ability of also making complex situations simple.

She has helped me from the very beginning, when my entrepreneurship was a vague idea, to actually getting started and setting strategic goals. Always with an eye for detail but never losing the bigger picture. 

Amal has not only been a dedicated sparring partner, but also a mentor who genuinely cares about my success.
