Innovation is the essence of strategic thinking. It involves fresh ideas that create value. It may also involve new products, business processes, and organizational changes. However you define it, it needs to create a new dimension of performance.For over 15 years I have been applying innovation to identify market growth potential in some of the most remote countries on the globe. From popularizing bio-pesticide in Bangladesh, aquaculture in conflict-ridden Southern Nigeria, Cruise tourism in Timor-Leste, and catalyzing certification for coffee farmers in Papua New Guinea I've succeeded in managing these projects to a successful conclusion. Additionally, I am a co-owner of two agribusiness start-ups that are involved in organic sweets and organic vegetables hopefully making the world a better place to live in.Another element of my success has been the recruiting, hiring, training, managing and mentoring of a team of professionals without whom, success would have been impossible.A basic tenant of my business approach is to connect individuals, businesses, governments, and NGOs with each other, and with markets at home and abroad. This enhances investment and coordination and allows partnerships to flourish, strengthening inclusive economic growth.To accomplish these goals involves the gathering, analyses, and interpretation of data from various sources and then evaluating it to determine its effectiveness versus our business goals to ensure we’re on the right track and that no damage has been done.This is my life and my passion. I welcome the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with individuals with a similar passion.Email: sharif.msd780@gmail.com, Phone: +1-416-919-5021
