“Sharif and I were classmates at the Masters of International Management Program of the University of Liverpool during the past two years. He did an exceptional job to all the projects we have worked together enriching the team with his broad-minded, dedicated and eager to achieve character! Proactive, innovative and highly intelligent, he provided the classroom with valuable comments and research material that made the difference. His technical expertise and leadership makes Sharif to view solutions instead of problems. He is a fantastic person to work with being a person you can trust when you want to be sure that important tasks will be completed in a systematic and precise way. Reliable asset - his conception, skills, knowledge and understanding of change requests made the project a dream. Lots of work and little talk. Deliver results and move on. That's Sharif Shikhlinski's way. That is his character! Anyone who decides to employ him or even interact with him, he will surely benefit, enriched by his know-how and be motivated by his inspiring personality. I highly recommend him as a colleague, classmate, friend!”
About
My name is Sharif, and I’m engaged in supporting companies to build a better digital experience and expertise to anticipate customer needs and solve them in innovative ways via adoption of private cloud, AI and ML.
My current focus is on building support for startup tech ecosystem and designing a more accessible and inclusive digital world. While companies are focusing to build a better digital infrastructure, cyber crime threatens to undermine the benefits of digital world, hence challenging businesses to provide better training and investment in digital infrastructure.
Through my experience, I have found, recruited and led a team of best talents to run the operations of a company that provides IT services, cloud computing technologies, cyber security solutions, and data center management services for the subsidiaries of PASHA Holding LLC. For more than 15 years, my exposure to various top-level management functions has made me exceptionally capable of planning and executing programs that drive product innovation, as well as building trusted relationships with large enterprise organizations within the global tech industry.
Such broad range of experience leading large-scale technology development projects has made me very much adept at driving client engagement cycles that are vital to the realization of business development objectives. Given my ability to develop and manage project governance plans, define success criteria and milestones, and leverage best practices on enterprise-level engagements, I am confident that I have the proper business and technical acumen to enable the achievement of measurable results for business success.
