Lucca, As the Director of Evening Business School of National College of Business Administration and Economics, Lahore Pakistan, it gives me great pleasure to write this reference for Mr. Adil Saleem to pursue PhD in Economics, Management and Data Sciences (EMDS) offered by your institution. He is known to me since 2014 when he first appeared in front of scholarship committee for Master in Business Administration; he impressed the committee and secured the full scholarship by showing his aptitude and energy. Mr. Adil has an excellent native intellectual ability, bestowed with creative mind and analytical thinking. His transversal competencies and scientific approach helped him to articulate the most difficult concepts with ease. During the period I supervised Mr. Adil I found him consistent, enthusiastic, motivated and passionate about his work. Throughout the academic period Mr. Adil demonstrated the ability to work independently. His ability to work in diverse environment of financial sector (Meezan bank limited) and study with excellence in Masters at the same time revealed on me that he is very passionate about his objectives in life. I feel confident that he will continue to succeed in his goal, as he was a dedicated student and his grades have been excellent. Adil has a good level of interpersonal skills, leadership skills and professionalism when he was asked to coordinate and interpret the work of other graduates. He volunteered himself for the whole session in mentoring and helping peers and juniors to navigate their way through first year of the degree. He bears a good repute among all his teachers; they all are of the view that Mr. Adil has proved him as a proactive student for session 2014/2015. It is for these reasons that I offer high recommendations for Adil without reservation. His drive and abilities will truly be an asset to student life, academics and your establishment. If you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me.
