She has the ability to mix a strategic decision-maker’s perspective with deep academic-level insights, to produce strategic think-pieces that benefits both the client and their stakeholders. Someone I would definitely work with again and would put right up alongside the client.

I found Uzma a pleasure to work with while we were organising the workshop. Uzma put in a lot of careful preparation for the day and we were rewarded with an informative session in the morning on how we can align change management processes with our approach to project management.
