Hushang Hashimi Email & Phone Number

I enjoy building things that have purpose and value. As a successful entrepreneur for the last 17+ years, I built a client-facing business focused on solving major problems with technology solutions. I led the installation and distribution of satellite terminals around the world as well as the development of mobile apps for e-learning, e-government, e-banking, e-health, e-news, social networking and more. My wide-ranging technical experience includes software development, product development, mobile apps, SaaS, SMS, networking, and telecommunications.A key strength of mine is my ability to quickly assemble a team and run a world-class, ISO compliant project in different parts of the world. I’m adept at inspiring multi-cultural teams to achieve goals, keeping projects on-task and on-time across various time zones, and managing the expectations of customers, suppliers, partners, employees, and shareholders. My background includes significant work managing government projects. I have strong relationships with government contractors (Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Lockheed, SAIC and others), government agencies (GSA, USAID, DoD) and international organizations (UN, World Bank, foreign government entities).My broad subject matter expertise allows me to be a good resource for businesses and people looking for synergistic opportunities in cross-functional industries. If someone works in satellite and wants to develop a mobile app, for instance, I can guide them in making all of the right decisions.
