I had the privilege of working closely with Abdullatif during his tenure as Chief Internal Auditor at EDSCO — he is a true asset to any organization. His deep understanding of governance frameworks, coupled with his strategic mindset, was instrumental in driving positive change. One of our key achievements was deploying a new SAP ERP system, which Abdullatif approached with exceptional diligence. He is a professional who doesn't just focus on delivering results but ensures those results are sustainable and aligned with the organization's long-term vision.

Mr. Abed is the best manager you can work with in a stress and heavy loaded environment — he is always calm and open to hear from his team, organized, and can manage priorities to meet deadlines. I gained a very good experience during the period we worked together.
