Innovation Leadership Expert | Bestselling Author

Hi, I’m Nadeem, and I worked as a tech executive in the corporate world for almost 30 years. It was my whole identity, until one day it wasn’t.

As an executive, I championed tech strategies that shifted organizational direction, with highlights including scaling a delivery team from 5 to 100 in staff within one year and leading the growth of a go-to-market business from $10M to $200M in annual revenue within five years.

Then, the relentless pace led to burnout. And a moment of recalibration.

I realized my passion for innovation wasn’t just about doing; it was about guiding others. I saw my true impact in empowering the next wave of leaders to embrace change and lead with a growth mindset.

Shifting gears from corporate exec to author, I wrote the book “Become an Innovation Navigator,” channeling decades of experience and insights into a blueprint for effective innovation leadership.

This pivot was not just a personal shift but a mission to foster a culture of directed innovation within the fabric of organizations and their leaders.

My results:

➟ Writing an Amazon #1 bestselling book (in 2 categories).
➟ 1k to 10k LinkedIn followers in just 4 months.
➟ Over 6.2 million impressions (6x the people in my city).
➟ Ranked #30 Creator in US on LinkedIn for Management & Leadership.

My mission is to elevate innovation leadership across the business spectrum.

Through strategic advisory, speaking engagements, and my writing, I offer a compass for those ready to lead innovation with intention and impact.
