Shafi, Naeem

Partner, VP North America at OnActuate

Naeem Shafi is a high-caliber project manager with an extraordinary ability to bring together talent and technology to get large-scale complex projects done and done well. Highly familiar with navigating the challenges of organizational change, he’s gained a reputation as an inspirational coach and motivator. Naeem ranks helping his clients succeed as his number one priority. Educated in Oxford, UK, Naeem has worked on every continent serving high profile companies. He has systematically honed his skills, becoming responsible for ERP supply chain implementation program management, across multiple countries, from concept to final handover. Cool under fire, Naeem takes managing complex systems—where the downtime cost per minute is as high as $5k —in his stride. Naeem joined OnActuate in 2013 as a partner, visionary, and leader of the North American operation, bringing his over two decades of rich experience to bear on building a global solutions integrator. An innate problem solver, Naeem attributes a post-graduate stint early in his career—in overalls on the shopfloor (at the Mars UK Supply chain distribution site)—to giving him a baseline perspective that made him the trusted expert he is today.
