ABOUT ME
Ever since graduating from Stanford University engineering
school, Mohsen Moazami has been engaged in the technology industry for the past 30+
years.
Mr. Moazami was an entrepreneur as the founder/CEO of Stanford
Business Systems (SBS) for 7.5 years before being acquired by KSA/Accenture, where
he became a sr. partner and ran the global e-business practice. Later, he was
recruited into the leadership of Cisco's strategic consulting services called
Internet Business Solutions Group. There, he engaged at the CxO level of top global
corporations and government entities assisting them in their journey to become
connected, digital and agile enterprises. At various times he had global
responsibility for Retail, Consumer Products, Transportation/Logistics and Public
Sector verticals.
During the last 4 years of his Cisco career, Mr. Moazami
moved to London to join the leadership team of Emerging Markets looking after 132
countries with a $6 Billion P&L which during his tenure was the fastest growing part
of Cisco. A key pillar of Cisco strategy in approaching these markets was 'country
transformation'; presenting broadband as the 4th utility (after water, electricity
and roads) necessary to drive competitiveness and standard of living.
Upon
departure from Cisco in 2012 Mr. Moazami raised $300 Mil at CNTP to start a new
venture capital investment firm in Silicon Valley. At CNTP he oversaw several
investments in the security, cyber security, big data analytics and enterprise SaaS
application domains. Some of Mr. Moazami's portfolio companies have exited to
Microsoft, vMware, Nutanix, Yahoo , Roche, Vista (PE firm) and IPOs.
Mr.
Moazami also served on the board of Global Capacity, a telecommunications company.
At Global Capacity, he helped oversee a complete turnaround of the business, a $150
mil+ acquisition and the ultimate exit of the company to GTT in 2017.
