James Tang

Director - Strategic Analysis at Halliburton

May 14, 2020, Amr worked with James in the same group

I worked closely with Amr on a team project as part of Halliburton’s Business Leadership Development program, an education program administered by Texas A&M’s Mays School of Business. The program is designed to identify and train future leaders of our company. During our 6-week team project, Amr took a strong, vocal leadership role, managing relationships with our in-house “client”, keeping us organized, accountable and progressing towards our final deliverable. He demonstrated very strong teamwork and communication skills, as well as a strong technical background in directional drilling which was critically important for the success of our project. Our final presentation was very well received by our professors and executive panelists, and our recommendations were impactful and accepted by our internal clients. We were recognized as the most outstanding presentation of our class. I know Amr to be highly reliable, hard worker and a great team player who would be an asset to any organization. I would happily and confidently support Amr as a positive reference.

Regional PDC - MENA/AP at Halliburton

May 10, 2020, Many was senior to Amr but didn’t manage directly

Worked closely with Amr for almost seven years. Thanks only to his utmost devotion to his work, he found his way up the ladder to senior management. Amr likes challenges, selectting the biggest obstacles that other choose to ignore, and tackles them hard till clearing the path. Yet, he likes circumstantial vision, where all points around problem in hand have to be addressed. A team player, leads by nature, and sets example of own behavior, making it hard for subordinates not to follow. Amr finally has sophisticatedly organized multi layered character, that allows him to adapt swiftly even in very difficult situations

May 29, 2020, Amr was senior to Ahmed Sanad but didn’t manage directly

Amr is a great role model and motivational leader to work with. He has exceptional expertise in leadership, coaching and motivation. He consistently demonstrated solid work ethics, dedication and sense of a team building skills instead of working for himself. Amr has great knowledge in his field, and is able to keep widening his knowledge and expertise exponentially! I was impressed by Amr"s ability to deal with even the toughest situations and with difficult personnel whether from the team or the customer side. That skill often takes years to develop among consulting professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to him. Any employee would be lucky to have Amr as a manager, Amr would be an asset to any company!
