Motivated by a deep desire to inculcate a strong sense of community service in his two young sons Samir began his dynamic experience as a PMIWDC volunteer in 2007. In the interim he has settled in as the host of the monthly PM Tools sessions in his role as AVP, Networking Programs – PM Tools. A certified PMP since 2005 Samir currently serves as director of the PMO for the renown IT consulting services experts, Network Specialty Group, Inc. his employer since 2001.

Samir particularly enjoys the PMIWDC experience finding it especially rewarding in terms of providing a means to earn PDUs; and for facilitating self learning and getting connected with vast pool of project professionals.

When he is not busy ‘tweaking’ PMO processes at NSGI or hosting PM Tools or otherwise performing some feat or “daring do”, Samir really enjoys a bit of travelling, playing tennis with his sons and spending time with family and friends.
