Brian joins with more than 25 years of company growth and team leadership experience across a range of diverse industry verticals. Most recently Brian led product development in healthcare analytics. He has also played product and business development roles in entertainment, energy, transportation, IT systems, financial services, and data analytics. At NLX he will be integral to helping grow the company’s client list across multiple sectors as well as implementing operational scaling to meet increased market demand.

“I’ve had a passion for learning the psychology of helping people improve themselves, and I take that into every team, customer, employee, and personal life. If we can all help others improve, business improves, and we all grow,” he explains.

“We’re transforming the industry to help our customers communicate with their customers in a more efficient, effective, and personal way while cutting down their costs and reducing their lost opportunities. And more importantly, it’s exciting to be part of the vision of building a truly great company.”

Fadi is implementing and managing Agile Process for both project and product management. Using these methods, and working closely with the product team, he is responsible for marshalling the resources of the whole company, as required, to drive two-weekly sprints that deliver enhancement to both Voice Compass and NLX Studio products. He joins after nearly three years with Deloitte Consulting, and has experience of working with both large companies and start-ups, including JP Morgan Asset Management, Raytheon and IHS Markit.

Fadi says:

“For a long time, I have wanted to work on the most cutting-edge technology and shape products that leverage technology with agility, and which reflected what the market will be tomorrow, not just today.

What we do at NLX will reshape customer contact for the next decade. We want to make AI/ML approachable, simple, and intuitive to understand so anyone who has a business, small or large, can leverage our technology with minimal development to handle and simplify basic to complex customer self-service. Democratizing AI really excites me.”
