We asked Kamran:

What inspires you?
Helping people in my organization achieve highs that they did not think were achievable and seeing them move up the ladder of success.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I would live in France because you have the Alps, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the English Channel or La Manche Sea, the wine, the food, the culture and its beautiful cities.  And this is where I intend to live in a few years!

Other than spending time with friends and family, what do you do in your spare time?
Catch up on the world news and drink wine.
