"Samira worked with the Ericsson team at Superunion, managing a global, fast paced and complex campaign roll-out program - with multiple stakeholders. It was a pleasure working with Samira - she is excellent at what she does, always professional and a lovely person to have as part of the team. She became part of the family in the short space of time that she worked with us. I would have no hesitation recommending Samira for any future roles. "
"Samira is a fantastic SPM, she's part of the team and she cares about doing a great job. She rarely lets the pressure get to her and is a very calming influence when things are fast paced, constantly changing or we're being asked for unrealistic delivery. She's also a solution finder, collaborative and reliable. Samira is super interesting and passionate about a number of areas which makes her even more enjoyable to work with. I would definitely recommend working with Samira and would love to do so again."
"Samira worked at VCCP from April to September. She was hired as a Project Director on the Customer Engagement team. She managed and oversaw a range of clients, as well as getting stuck in on actual projects when she needed to. Samira did a great job, would recommend her to any other agency."
