Walid Al-Hajj

I am an energetic technology driven business leader with a people first mindset to achieving results. With over 20 years experience managing people, enhancing processes, and driving innovative technology solutions that contribute to firms’ bottom line both at large organizations and start-ups. I believe in hands-on involvement in leading change, starting with idea creation and problem scoping through successful implementation, support and everything in between. I celebrate diversity and have deep insight into different cultures. My successful leadership can be attributed to a few relatively simple guiding principles: • People: Boost workplace “meaning quotient” and inspire employees to perform at their peak by explaining why their work matters. • Business/Process: Decompose complex problems into simple measurable deliverables with associated cost to ensure that our business partners know the business drivers that support each and every request for funding. • Technology: Strategically balance innovation with regulatory requirements while maintaining total cost of ownership, hence presenting creative yet simple solutions that add meaning and value to all stakeholders.
