Farzana Rasheed, CEO
My name is Farzana Rasheed and, I love owning and running an IT company, moreover in a challenging environment as that of post war Liberia. I inherited the business from my late partner, Wesley Daames, who founded an IT Services company in 2004. Prior to plunging into the business world, I worked with the United Nations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Jordan and Liberia for 6 years. Hailing from Pakistan, I have an extensive international personal and working background.
I bring almost 10 years of having lived and worked in Liberia to the table. Although I can be neurotically bureaucratic at times, I have as CEO, steered my company towards a vision of excellence by focusing on standards, in-house training, internal procedures and client satisfaction. I believe a company should be a dynamic organisation that should have as its foundation a belief in its people. I look forward to continuing to fulfill New Africa Technology Company’s objective of bringing world-class services and products to Liberia and eventually, the rest of Africa.
