Atif Hussein

“Atif is a technology visionary and a realist at the same time and has a talent for creating a wonderful team environment. He has passion for what he does, has excellent experience and knows how to bring differing stakeholders together to deliver projects that make commercial and strategic sense in the Mobile and IoT industry.”

“Atif is an extremely smart, innovative and energetic mobile internet software & services product leader. His ability to paint the strategic picture, understand customer needs, the competitive landscape combined with a solid technical understanding of the "art of the possible" means Atif can not just create great product ideas, but also lead their implementation. The 2 things for me that make Atif a stand out guy are his speed and energy. Atif does not let issues needing decision float. He takes the initiative, involves relevant people to tackle the issue and gets decisions done fast. He radiates positive "can do" energy, even in the face of significant challenges, which is infectious (in a good way !) to those who work with and for him. In a nutshell, Atif is a rare combination - a very smart guy who gets stuff done and is great fun to work with.”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Atif as both a customer and as a colleague. Atif brings a unique skill set to any role that includes both business and techinical/product expertise allowing him to excel in almost any area of an organization and drive results.”

“...as true a software development leader as there is. He knows how to lead large teams of engineers and to ship product. He handles complexity with great calm and simply gets it done. Most importantly, he always keeps an eye on the bigger picture -- i.e. he's not just about execution, but he can also keenly develop strategy and new ideas. On top of it all, he's simply a good guy to work with!”

“I joined Atif's team after one of several reorgs at Nokia. Despite my reluctancy to completely reengage, he exuded positivity and confidence and quickly gained my trust and respect. He was able to get several projects back on track and stabilized despite the state they were in when he subsumed responsibility of them. Atif is decisive and focuses his energy and the team on executing the highest priorities. He has a unique grasp of the business landscape and has strong technical abilities, a skill most executives lack. He is able to combine those skills and clearly communicate corporate goals to all audiences including engineering, his product team and the executive team. There are very few people that impress me, but Atif is able to keep his calm and see the future even in the stormiest of storms. I've learned so much from him. I very much enjoyed working for Atif, and would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.”

“Atif and I had the opportunity to work together and then partner on a number of projects where I focused on Sales/BD and he focused on PM/BD work. Having this complimentary business relationship allowed both of us to best serve our clients and do so (deliver the added value of the other) with a great of confidence. Atif takes great pride in bringing solutions to market that positively change the way people do things, and in ways that offer real and tangible value to the end user. As a consultant, Atif brings this as well as a comprehensive understanding of technology, as it pertains to product management and product development. He also guides his clients in a manner that allow them to get and stay focused on real solutions while making sure they are looking at the opportunity (what will sell and why it will sell) vs.simply being technology centric. Atif is also good at creating an environment that allows for collaboration and in doing so allows the key stakeholders to contribute ideas as well as concerns. He also knows how to bring a team together, a team who may have differing backgrounds and opinions while managing his projects with a constant focus on meeting stated objectives and committed deliverables. I would highly recommend Atif and his work would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.”

“I worked for Atif for 3 years at SEVEN and enjoyed every minute of it. Atif provided excellent leadership and management skills that all companies need and provided the vital "glue" across many organizations from Sales / Marketing to Engineering and Support so we were all marching to the same tune. Atif always kept his teams of people motiviated through effective commication that kept everyone under him up to date on company and business matters. Atif is no doubt a very valuable asset at any company and I wouldn't hesitate working with or for him should our paths cross again.”

“I recommend regarding him. He can make good relationship with partner and colleagues. Because his strategy is good balance for sales, marketing and engineer. He is high relaability from everybody.”

“Atif is a great solutions oriented Sales person who is very technical, mature, responsible and results oriented.”
