I am a better person for knowing and working with Sameer as a volunteer. A consummate entrepreneur, he consistently gives of himself as a CFA Institute volunteer and tries to make the world a better place. His passion for the investment industry and what it can do for society is palpable. A particular example is a video he created to highlight the contributions of CFA Institute graders in leading the investment profession. He did it on his own initiation and he had very collaboratively. It was so well done, we used it in our programming. Creative, bright, and committed, Sameer is a gem.

As an attorney who was defamed by a defendant, I sought an expert witness to understand the gravity of the situation and provide context on damages. I interviewed many candidates but found Sameer, who impressed me with his diverse experience, emotional intelligence, and genuine care. Together, Sameer and his company Blue Ocean Global Technology worked collaboratively to reach a settlement, and Sameer's expert report and detailed analysis on damages played a pivotal role in achieving this outcome. I highly recommend Sameer and his firm, Blue Ocean Global Technology.

I met Mr. Somal at a law firm industry conference where he was the keynote speaker. He was doing the tap dance between legalese and entertainment. More importantly, the information Blue Ocean Global Technology provided was strategy-altering for our firm. Sameer and his team clearly articulated why our digital reputation is so critical and often overlooked.

My client retained Sameer to serve as expert witness in a defamation lawsuit, including the damages analysis. Sameer testified at the trial before the Orange County Superior Court in California. Even opposing counsel acknowledged on the record Sameer's impressive qualifications. From a lawyer perspective, Sameer was a great witness. Plus he and his team Blue Ocean Global Technology worked really hard and devoted the time necessary to become fully prepared.
