Age: 25
Beth Williams, Head of Performance Media, Merkle MENA: From the first interview with Sohail, it was clear that he was very driven and has ambitious career goals. Education and learning are key to Sohail’s career plan. With him almost completing his first Master’s Degree and already looking for his next challenge I’d love to see him win the scholarship with Heriot-Watt University. With very high-reaching career goals of becoming a leader at an early age, this course will help Sohail achieve his ambitions.
Sohail currently works as part of two of our biggest client teams and I’m looking forward to continuing to see him grow in his career!
