What colleagues say
“Thariq consistently demonstrated a rare balance of strategic thinking, technical understanding, and strong people leadership. He has a clear ability to translate complex business requirements into actionable product roadmaps while working closely with engineering, hardware, and operations teams. I would confidently recommend him for senior product leadership roles, especially in environments that require close coordination between software, hardware, and operational teams.”
“Thariq's ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I've seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of our company. No matter how tense a meeting, Thariq made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Thariq earns my highest recommendation.”
“Working with Thariq was refreshing and easy because he was crystal clear in his communication and expectations. He would go into the smallest detail to make sure everything was looked at. I would recommend Thariq to any brand that needs a Product Lead that goes above and beyond no matter what was tasked.”
“We started working as cross-functional teams and ended up building synergies and delivering as one team. Over the year long experience working with Thariq, I admired his patience, his perseverance, his team spirit and commitment for his work — and I'm glad to recommend him to those who like to get work done.”
