"I have worked with Feras Mousilli for the last 18 months on various commercial contracts for the company I work for. He rapidly gained a good understanding of the unique markets in which we operate and was able to understand and provide feedback on the issues that we needed to address and provided well considered options on how to progress and draw matters to a close. I was very comfortable inviting him to join calls with our partners and felt that he always added value to the discussions. He represented our interests well and succinctly and was quick to follow up on any actions that were allocated to him. I would work with Feras again and have no hesitation in recommending him to other organizations."
