Achievements

An entrepreneur, investor, and startup advisor, Nayeem spent his early career focusing on corporate finance, M&A, and financial analysis first at Prudential Financial and then at Loral Space & Communications.

As Co-founder & CEO of Keen Home, Nayeem took the tech startup from concept to exit—successfully appearing on ABC's Shark Tank, raising over $10M of outside capital, and scaling the company to over $4M of revenue en route to its eventual sale.

Post Keen Home’s exit, Nayeem co-founded and served as the CEO of autom(8), where he led the charge to improve the way software is developed by launching the world’s first decentralized peer to peer Function as a Service platform.

Most recently, Nayeem was the Head of Product and Head of Corp Dev at ConnectM, where he was responsible for delivering a world class product, strategic direction, sourcing and closing acquisitions, en route to a 10X exit via de-SPAC.

Nayeem is currently a founding team member and the Head of Revenue at arbor.
