Testimonials

“I recruited Hamid to lead our transformation from a traditional mainframe and software institution to a products as a service and infrastructure as code organization. This was certainly a tall ask. You shared the vision, getting adoption and ultimately leading the transformation. Hamid displayed many qualities which are critical to leading organizations: * Ability to attract and retain top talent, * Ability to drive compelling presentations to leadership across divisions (eg. scaling agile), * Ability to drive product vision from technical as well as business perspective, and * Abillity to collaborate with many teams to achieve a common vision - those teams were both technical (eg. ML and IT) as well as business.”

Todd Fancher - President, AMFAM Insurance

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Hamid twice during my career. At Caradigm, as VP of Engineering, Hamid turned our vision into a scalable, profitable platform, growing the company to nearly $100M. He led the development of one of the first major healthcare systems on MS Azure, skillfully convincing skeptical customers of the cloud's security and scalability. Later, at Amazon’s Lab 1492, Hamid was the first person I thought of to spearhead healthcare innovations. Within three months, he built a high-performing team of 30 and secured partnerships with Fred Hutch and UCLA to develop groundbreaking AWS healthcare services. Hamid’s exceptional ability to blend technical expertise, leadership, and customer focus consistently delivers transformative outcomes. His visionary thinking and proven execution make him someone I’d hire as CEO without hesitation.”

Michael Simpson - CEO, Clinisys

“At Bloomberg, Hamid served as CTO of the Industry Verticals. He inherited a difficult situation as this group of businesses and teams was newly formed as a result of acquisitions and a combination of legacy businesses. When he arrived the team's lacked an overall leadership and technical vision and culture. During his time at Bloomberg, Hamid went about developing all three of these; He created an overall architectural vision that began to converge like functions on common platforms, began the difficult process of changing the team's siloed culture to ones better aligned with businesess while championing a product and engineering process aligned with more modern lean / scaled agile delivery. Along the way he also helped change the culture by dealing with under performing team members. He began the process of creating an innovative culture by using hackathons to unlock innovative ideas. Hamid's work here helped create the embers of change that allowed his successors to build upon.”

Eric Schvimmer - CTO Bloomberg Industry Group
