What Clients & Colleagues Say

"Abdullah Ali I think I speak on behalf of everybody when I say your support over the last couple of months with Tymeshift has been phenomenal. You are our go to person for SME and are so confident when speaking with customers and prospects about the value prop. On top of that, with Mitch being away for 3 weeks, your support on Superloop and Megaport has been nothing short of remarkable - Jumping on technical calls with no notice, solutioning with the customer on a guided trial, liaising with our product team to overcome a product limitation, and collaborating with pro serve to help with scoping following your up front demos. Thank you for all you do in support of our customers and future customers 🙏"

"Well done to Abdullah Ali for SafetyCulture show today. This is a software company and the feedback from the COO is that he wants our demo structure to be how they demo their software! 'The COO and the team loved that we embedded the widget in the SafetyCulture platform, loved that we used relevant issues and job titles that they would recognise, they noticed all the small details and were impressed. They want the slides as a gold standard to teach their team!'"
