About the CEO

The company's current CEO is also its founder.

Highest level of education obtained by the CEO: MBA

The greatest rewards that the CEO has experienced running his own company are:
Being able to create jobs locally and work with a talented and dedicated staff.  Also, creating a platform that provides skilled professionals from across the globe an equal opportunity to succeed is a great honor.

The greatest challenges that the CEO has experienced running his own company are:
In 2000, Guru.com was competing in a crowded field with well-funded competitors such as Ants.com, HelloBrain, Guru Worldwide Inc., Elance, Bullhorn and FreeAgent. By December 2001, only two of the original six competitors remained in the space with Guru.com. On June 30, 2003, we acquired the assets of our main competitor Guru Worldwide, Inc. without sacrificing or liquidating equity in the company. This asset acquisition enabled us to move forward with a recognizable brand and secure our position at the top of the industry. Most recently, in 2006, we bought back our original investment, giving us the control and the freedom to chart our own future, a distinction earned by only a handful of internet start-ups.

The founder's parents owned or ran a business when he was growing up.

According to the CEO, the most important factor to the company's success is: Willingness to change/adapt.
