Hello, I am currently the Data Analyser for Shineitwell Inc. a global leader in smart deep technology. It deploys ultra low power sensor mesh networks that deliver real time data for both web and mobile applications. The first use case is around smart parking with extensions into traffic and other smart city sub-verticals. I Spent a few months in early 2008 at Sutter Hill Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners as an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). I am excited about working with the partners at both firms as I explore various entrepreneurial options. I have a particular interest in looking into how we can leverage the great advancements in consumer technology (social media, mobile, location based services, sensors, crowd sourcing etc.) within an enterprise or business context. LLC is a strategy and advisory firm I started with a particular focus on corporate and competitive strategy, ecosystem design and development and social media strategy in the enterprise. Prior to that I was with SAP AG for 10 years in various roles, most recently for the last 4 years as Executive Vice President and Head of the Global Ecosystem and Partner Group, SAP AG reporting to Leo Apotheker (CEO of SAP and now CEO of HP !) and most recently John Schwarz (Board Member of SAP and former CEO of Business Objects). For a brief period I also worked with Shai Agassi (now CEO of BetterPlace and former Board Member of SAP). I had the privilege of leading this great team that designed and created the award winning ecosystem for SAP and its customers. With over 7,000 partners and 2 million people in the communities, the SAP Ecosystem had been an integral part of SAP strategy to deliver value to its customers. I was also SVP and Head of Global corporate Strategy and in that position founded and led SAP corporate strategy team and its innovate Design Services Team (DST). In these roles I reported for several years to Hasso Plattner (co-founder of SAP and currently Chair of the Supervisory Board) and Henning Kagermann (former CEO SAP). I also co-founded SAP Markets (and SAP AG company) which was in the b2b marketplace business. This was my first role with SAP. Design Thinking as been an area of keen interest and among other activities to further this interest I co-teach a course titled “Experiences in Software Design” with Hasso Plattner (c0-founder of SAP) and Terry Winnograd (professor at Stanford). I enjoy my work as Consulting Associate Professor at Stanford Design School and work on other courses on an adhoc basis as well. Before my life in Silicon Valley I lived and worked on the East Coast as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs & Co. and for several years at the World Bank Group in Washington, DC. I loved Goldman as a company and a place to work but was not cut out to be an investment banker. My time at the World Bank, first working on health care issues in Southern Africa and then project finance and political risk insurance in South Asia and Indochina, was fantastic. I still retain a love for issues related to economic development and am involved in various efforts regarding education and social entrepreneurship in South Asia and Africa. I am involved in several non-profit board and organizations such as Developments in Literacy (DIL) and Community Solutions for Africa Development (COSAD) and the South Asian American Forum. I enjoy working with these organizations and hope to continue to do so. I was also formerly on the Board of a great start-up called Innocentive and am currently in discussion to join a couple of other boards. On a personal note I am married to Hasna harir(who is of Indian origin so our small contribution to world peace) and have two wonderful daughters Sara and Aicha. Thanks for reading through my background, I hope you will find the blog posting and discussions interesting and informative. Regards, Amir.
