What Others Say

“Combined with a strong analytical approach towards problems and challenges he is faced with, and his ability to adapt to almost each and every social context, I have seen Sunoor win immediate trust from the different stakeholders he was dealing with, be it NGO representatives from remote rural areas, government officials, or diplomatic reppresentatives."

“Sunoor Verma has pioneered important and innovative methodologies in relation to project planning and delivery, has the capacity to ensure rapid and reliable project implementation according to agreed targets and possesses an amazing degree of strategic oversight and insight.”

“Sunoor Verma makes ideals work in practice by focusing on issues that successfully bring together parties, which in another context might be on opposite sides of a conflict. In so doing, he brings about action, which brings concrete benefits to all while making the potential lines of conflict gradually less relevant.”

“While many give lip service to the importance of a participatory approach that involves the community in the design of projects, Sunoor puts this theory into practice through his natural curiosity and his interest in working with people. This enhances the sustainability of interventions.”

“Sunoor Verma’s guiding principle seems to be humbleness before the complexity of tasks, why his approach is very much appreciated by people around him — which in turn leads to a great appreciation and respect for his person and suggestions. With his experience from around the world, I would say his skills in diplomacy and mediation are very well developed. “

“I have been together with Dr. Verma in negotiations with potential donors, senior government officers, ambassadors and partners. He thrives in creating genuine win-win arrangements without leaving any scope for ambiguity or misunderstanding. He prepares thoroughly for each negotiation and is able to step back and see things from the perspective of the counterpart.”

“The presence of Dr. Sunoor Verma in Macedonia, in our environment after anarmed crisis in 2001’s Macedonia was very relieving. He made each one of us feel that we are on the right side and that actually we are all on the same side. His reasoning and argumentation always presented a real value to follow and he always reached the true values that were dividing us, worked with us patiently and always gave us the feeling that it is us who actually lead the process of overcoming division and conflicts.”

“Dr. Verma has a personal touch with his colleagues, counterparts and clients. I have no doubt that his medical background gives him a leg up on political scientists and lawyers when it comes to personal relations. Whereas the latter tend to be academic and technical, Dr. Verma connects with the individual. That personal connection goes a long way to achieving success.”

“Dr. Verma is intelligent and he is modest. The two qualities are not uncommon. Finding them in one person is though rather rare. He is a team player that is able to guide, participate and collaborate very well.”

“Sunoor Verma always underlines the importance of local ownership. He may have a lot of knowledge and expertise, but he always ensures that his visions are closely connected to reality on the ground.I would definitely recommend his services in areas such as: project design and management, civil society networking, organizational development, impact evaluations.”

“It was a great pleasure to work with Dr.Verma and to learn from the best.”

“Dr. Sunoor Verma is a bright person with excellent organizational skills and a creative mind able to think “out of the box”. He has been a key to open the Geneva Health Forum to other Swiss partners, a major evolution of the event over the last years.”
