Saleem Qureshi

Mr. Qureshi, a researcher turned entrepreneur, devised a methodology of quantifying human behavior through a process of Six Sigma. He holds a number of patents in the quantification of human behavior. While attending Fordham University (NYC) working towards a BA in Finance, he co-founded NetWala and developed the eCurrency model which was acquired by PSI Net. After working in finance he realized that his passion was research, so he enrolled to study medicine and conducted research in quantifying molecular behavior at City University of New York. His research took him to Stanford University where he partnered with leading researchers to launch HireLabs. His techniques of pairing and matching, have been used in talent identification and at leadership development programs at organizations including Foundation of Young Intellectuals (serving artists in New York), and LeadershipDNA (serving students at Stanford University), he served as Vice Chairman in both organizations. He recently developed the ‘iHR’ and ‘OccupationDNA’ concepts for institutional clients and government agencies that are looking for an integrated human resource solution to better manage their talent. He advises government agencies in labor and talent management in the Middle East and South Asia. Prior to starting HireLabs, he served as Managing Director of ILR, a private equity firm. His strong background in operations and finance has earned him a seat on the board of Medicove, FetchMed, Intelligent Films, and HireLabs. His interests reside in using concepts of Six Sigma in building intelligent systems to predict human behavior.
