Sulemaan Ahmed
Sulemaan Ahmed is a Principal at Servo Annex which is a firm that provides Senior Executive training for the Digital Age.
For over a decade he has helped build and lead digital marketing, e-commerce and social media initiatives at brands such as Apple, Sears, Air Canada and Harlequin. He was Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Kinetic Cafe, a Toronto-based innovation agency and startup accelerator where he built their Executive Education practice.
Despite working as a flight attendant to put himself through school, Sulemaan graduated with his Masters of E-Commerce degree from Dalhousie University and completed his thesis on email, which removes any doubt about him being a geek.

He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the White Ribbon Campaign to End Violence Against Women (helping spearhead the organization's growth to more than 60 countries worldwide.)
