To Whom lt May Concern

I know Sami Jabbour from my time at Physio-Control, a division of Medtronic (200a-20t2).He reported to me directly from 2008 until 2012 when he was the Business Manager for theMiddle East and Africa Region.

I was impressed by Sami's drive, determination, and tenacity. I am pleased to state that Samimet or exceeded his sales target each year with a good net profit in the bottom-line. Samiwas the winner of the EMEA President's Club twice (2009 and 2011). This is an elite awardgiven annually to the top performing individual sales performers and sales leaders in an

organization, and represents the top 5% of sales team members.

Sami's attitude towards work and his performance on the job have been consistently strong.His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive workingrelationships with both his clients and colleagues. His ability to get work done through theservice personnel has been outstanding. Sami is highly respected by the people who workunder his supervision. He is recognized as a highly ethical and professional contributor,dedicated to work, sincere and a team player.

Sami has been a self-starter, requiring little or no supervision. He was a good colleague to his

coworkers and always shared tips and ideas to help improve the sales and customer support,He also had the analytical skills to diagnose problems and develop viable solutions. His abilityto remain composed during the three year period of the FDA Consent Decree, imposed onthe Physio-Control Business Unit, proves his ability to work well under pressure.

Sami did an excellent sales and business development job in my organization and I highlyrecommend him for positions of similar level and complexity. I would be happy to provideadditional details.
