“I have worked with Hossam for a little more than two years in HC Securities and Investment- Investment Banking division. Hossam has proven himself to be smart, hardworking, highly motivated and committed, hungry to learn, and most importantly a great team player. Hossam was one of the highest performing Senior Analysts (and later an Associate) in our team and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. I truly believe he will go places and I cannot wait to see him realize his massive potential.”
