ABOUT SABA SHARIFF
What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world - Simon Sinek.Like Simon says, to move from an idea to reality takes hard work, passion, curiosity, and a willingness to take some risks. An idea doesn\'t become a great product or solution on its own - but taking that first step, that first risk, absorbing that first failure and getting right back up to try it again. THAT can lead to some great things.I\'m lucky in my line of work to move ideas forward, working with great teams to do great things - striving to change our little bit of the world for the better.As Chief Product, Strategy and Innovation Officer at Symcor, I lead the team responsible for providing innovative and impactful products and services while charting a viable strategic path for the enterprise. I do my best to wade through all the noise and hype to design a plan that\'s going to deliver real customer value and growth for our organization.I\'m grateful to the teams I\'ve worked with and led, who have innovated and driven change inside and outside our organization - including those who have helped me launch COR.IQ, our innovative anti-fraud Consortium and COR.CONNECT, our industry standard open banking platform. We\'re \'doing good with data\' and it all started with just an idea.Beyond work, I give back where I can, supporting over the last several years the Princess Margaret Weekend to Conquer Cancer fundraising and awareness event - for the past 6 years as an Honorary Chair - a truly important and personal cause. I\'m also committed to helping the next generation of women in STEM make real strides in their careers through my Board membership at Women in Communications and Technology.It\'s all unbelievably exciting.
