About Jack Hakimian

When I was a kid, “Social” meant outgoing, the “Cloud” was an atmospheric phenomenon,"Big Data" did not bully little data, and "Artificial Intelligence" was a cheeky way of pointing to a lack of it. But times have changed and my job is to help organizations derive significant value from all these things. I have held executive positions in Consulting and in Industry; a great leader and a fun person to be around, if such a combination is at all possible. During this time, I have- Led regional practices for top-tier consulting firms- Served global Financial Services and Telecommunications companies, as well as large Public Sector institutions. I have been lucky to work in multiple countries (more than can possibly fit in this little box), and I speak four languages in addition to pretentious business jargon. My areas of expertise are- Strategy - Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)- Digital Transformation - Artificial Intelligence - Technology Innovation - Data and Analytics - Managed Services - Enterprise Applications I am also a frequent speaker and panelist at technology conferences and events- Evanta CIO Executive Summit, Calgary:"Enterprise Innovation Models"- Info-Tech LIVE, Las Vegas:"Build an AI Strategy that makes business sense"- Info-Tech LIVE, Las Vegas:"Robotic Process Automation"​ - Ecole Supérieure des Affaires, Beirut:"Conseil en Junior Entreprise"​ - Spatial Co, Benchmarking Conference, Kuwait City: “The use of benchmarking in organizational diagnostics and strategy development” - Informa, Managed Services World, Berlin:"Calculating the ROI of Managed Services"​ - IQPC Managing Mobile Data, Vienna:"Mobile Data Offloading Costs and Benefits"​ - Rutberg & Co, Mobile Summit, London: “Mobile Innovation” - Informa, LTE MENA, Dubai:"LTE’s Return on Investment"- Rutberg & Co, Wireless Influencers, Carlsbad, CA: “Opportunities in the Mobile World: An Emerging Market Perspective” - GSMA CSO Group, Hong Kong: “Use of Hybrid Power systems in Mobile Networks”
