I am a person who loves engaging with people to appreciate different perspectives and to keep learning and enjoying. I highly value originality, humbleness and honesty. I am blessed with a supportive wife and three amazing girls. I enjoy reding books, cycling and weight-lifting.

I have twenty-five years of ICT industry experience working in multicultural environments in Pakistan, Singapore, and Oman. Most of my professional life is spent on managing teams and projects, interacting with clients and vendors and delivering results. The projects I worked on included large projects and up to 5 MUSD in value.

I have found that people can be motivated much better with proper focus and care for their well being and growth. I have come to disagree with the carrot and stick policy. Lately I have been influenced by people like Tom DeMarco and W. Edwards Deming for developing effective teams and organizations.
