“I worked with Keivan in multiple roles supporting the Government of British Columbia. He is a considerate, engaging, and effective advisor and communicator who always puts the interests of the team he is supporting at the centre of his work. Keivan has a breadth of knowledge on natural resource, First Nations, and political issues and he brings an affable and dedicated working style that brings people along with him. I can highly recommend Keivan for any consulting or leadership role, as I have the utmost trust in his ability to learn and deliver on behalf of whatever organization he lends his support to.”
