I had the pleasure to meet Ahmed Gamal Ibrahim in 2016, at the beginning of his experience at my University (University of Rome Tor Vergata) as a student of the first level CBRNe course: Since the beginning, I have understood that he was not a simple student. He immediately started to propose innovative ideas to improve the course and all the ideas were successful. In meantime he completed the First and Second Level Master courses, published a book and become an active part of the Directive Board of the CBRNe Master course and a great collaborator for all the University of Rome Tor Vergata. A story of competence, innovation, and success that is continuing today. The example that the good approach, the competences, and the idea are key to success.

I worked several times with Ahmed Gamal Ibrahim during Live Agent and HazMat courses, always admiring his skills and the capability to remain focused always even on the smaller details of his tasks.
The knowledge he has about the CBRNe world is already impressive, but Ahmed never stops and is constantly updating it and searching for new sources of both knowledge and inspiration.
Ahmed is really a unique man, truly professional, serious businessman, expert of the CBRNe world, perfect English speaker, and most important, really trustworthy and deeply honest.
All his capabilities are well integrated with his peculiar ability to be able to follow several projects at the same time, also in multicultural environments and taking care at the same time of every needs of his customer.
I look forward to work with him again, because it’s both a pleasure and a privilege to work with such an enthusiastic and capable colleague.

I have no hesitation in recommending Ahmed for any current or future projects he’d like to take on. First and foremost, the enthusiasm and energy that Ahmed puts into any project is exemplary. His positive attitude is contagious which makes him a valuable asset within a team and a pleasure to work with.
Ahmed and I worked together on a number of Hotzone Solutions’ training events where his event management and coordination skills contributed greatly to the overall success of the event and the appreciation of the students/clients. Ahmed understands the importance of managing the details of any project in a multi-cultural and fast paced environment, he seeks to understand the problems that may arise and always ensures that the company is well represented.
