Mr. Faisal Hoque
CACI, Inc.
Strategic Partner and Thought Leader
Faisal Hoque is exclusively working with CACI and its senior management team to bring innovation, frameworks, and platforms from private sector to public sector for organizational transformation, technology migration, and management innovation. He is the developer of Navigate framework and platform that serves as the basis for CACI Navigator solution.
What sets Faisal apart is the unique position and perspective he has always maintained, which is grounded in hardcore technology with deep roots in leading-edge management science.
He is the founder of SHADOKA and other companies. Author of several books, including Everything Connects - How to Transform and Lead in the Age of Creativity, Innovation and Sustainability and Survive to Thrive - 27 Practices of Resilient Entrepreneurs, Innovators, And Leaders. Formerly of GE and other global brands, he regularly contributes to Fast Company, Business Insider, and others. His work has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Fox, CBS, Financial Times, Mergers & Acquisitions, Forbes, and Leadership Excellence, Huffington Post among other publications.
American Management Association (AMA) named him one of the Leaders to Watch in 2015. The editors of Ziff-Davis Enterprise named him one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Technology alongside leading entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Larry Page, and others. Trust Across America-Trust Around the World (TAA-TWA) named him one of the Top 100 Thought Leaders alongside global leaders such as Bill George, Tony Hsieh, Doug Conant, Howard Schultz, and others.
Over the last two decades, he has played a variety of roles including CEO, Chairman of the Board, and an advisor to F500 boards and management. He has architected customer/partner/joint-venture/business transformational relationships with cross industry, private and public sector global brands such as GE, MasterCard, American Express, Northrop Grumman, PepsiCo, IBM, Home Depot, Netscape, Infosys, French Social Security Services, Gartner, Cambridge Technology Partners, JP Morgan Chase, CSC, and others.
He built his first commercial software product at the age of 19 while studying at the University of Minnesota, and went on to hold management positions in Pitney Bowes and then Dun and Bradstreet. In 1991, Pitney Bowes recruited him to join one of their R&D groups before he finished his undergraduate degree. At Pitney and Dun and Bradstreet, he worked on cutting-edge analytics and decision support methods and systems for customer intelligence, sales effectiveness, and revenue optimization before CRM/ERP, Sales Automation, and Business Intelligence were hardly concepts.
As a serial entrepreneur, he has raised venture capital from angels, strategic partners, and institutional investors to fund his innovative business-to-business startups. Over the decades, his companies innovated products and solutions that: provided middleware software for complex, secure transaction processing; created industry's first set of re-usable software components for integrated B-to-B e-commerce; and pioneered comprehensive business value management frameworks and platforms.
As a thought leader, he has written several books on management, innovation, leadership, creativity, and entrepreneurship; established a research think tank in collaboration with leading academics from around the globe. His book, The Power of Convergence (published by the American Management Association [AMA]), was released in April 2011 and almost immediately was named "One of the Best Business Books of 2011" by 800CEOREAD and CIO Insight. Two of his previous books, Sustained Innovation and Winning the 3-Legged Race, were also included in the "Top 5 Transformation Books" of the last few years, while Sustained Innovation also ranked in CIO Insight magazine's "Editor's Picks: The 10 Best Business Books of 2007".
