Shehzad gave some very helpful feedback on a new AdWords tool we're developing based on his extensive experience with search engine marketing.

Shehzad gave me very practical and relevant advice, in many more ways I was initially looking for.

A+ player - an analytical, ambitious, and affable guy who can add value to a startup in a wide variety of ways. The tremendous success of the StatementRewards platform from Truaxis (now a MasterCard company) would simply not have been possible if it weren't for his creativity, diligence, and sheer hard work. His passion and enthusiasm are infectious - they energize the entire team. I look forward to working with him again in the future, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him strongly to any other team (including and especially founding teams).

Shehzad is a thoughtful, creative, ambitious guy. I hired him as a green VC analyst to see if he could hack an operating role. I was thrilled by what he was able to achieve. he's a very focused, organized guy, and proved that he could thrive in a variety of projects. i'd love to hire the guy again!
