Waheed Siddiqi, CPA, CA, CPA (USA), CISA, MBA — CEO
The objective of a superb leader is to instill confidence, engage employees, ensure profitability and be a pillar of strength. Working internationally with great leaders has taught me how to run a successful organization. Yet, I have carved my own tributaries which define my persona, leadership style and success. My education includes two Master’s Degrees and three internationally recognized designations. The key to professional growth is to leverage education to gain experiences not taught in classrooms. Over the years I have: - Developed strategic objectives to achieve short and long term goals - Lead cross functional teams spanning multiple countries - Overseen multiple business lines each with its own unique challenges and opportunities - Been part of large scale corporate plans including: acquisitions, joint ventures, business line integrations, cost planning, price optimization, treasury policies, process design - Managed budgets, long term forecasts and multi-year capital intensive projects - Designed and implemented ERP systems Every part of an organization has to gel perfectly to provide synergy and deliver superior results. A leader has the ability to make this happen. Leading by example is the only way to motivate others and earn their respect. This is what I believe. This is how I Partner. This is how I lead!
