Who is “Naeem Zafar”
I am a world citizen and I work and live in Silicon Valley California. My career was shaped in the high-tech industry having started or worked at seven companies and advised several dozen startups. I have distilled my knowledge and personal experiences in my writings and teaching to help guide entrepreneurs all over the world. I travel frequently to lecture on a variety of topics related to starting businesses and the life of an entrepreneur. I am a faculty member of the Berkeley-Haas business school at the University of California and currently working on my 7th startup in the area of enterprise mobility.
I believe that entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool to alleviate poverty and extremism from the world and “Social Businesses” can fill the gap where public institutions often fall short.
