        I highly recommend Aamir Hussain for any technology organisation in need of executive leadership to digital transformation.    Aamir is able to envision, hire the best talent, build teams and drive transformative change across various large enterprise and technology domains.

        Aamir is responsible for transforming Covad from a legacy ATM/DSL network to a next generation Ethernet/MPLS network.  This enabled a complete transformation of our product structure, go to market approach, channel strategies, and our network cost structure.  These changes are largely responsible for our complete turn-around from no profit to 18+% EBITDA margins and an industry leading network cost structure.  Aamir is a visionary leader, builder of high performing teams, and a critical ingredient to our success.
