Cineplex

Senior Product Manager, Mobile

I was initially hired to manage the rebuild of the iOS, Android and Apple TV apps for the Cineplex Store, an online streaming service, which all launched within 12 months. I then took over the Cineplex Mobile app, and became the product manager for all mobile apps at Cineplex. I took a leading role in promoting product thinking in an enterprise organization that lacked a product discipline, helping implement new processes and championing their use.

Sr. Full Stack Dev / Technical Architect

Kolody Inc was a digital media agency, where I was a Project Lead & Full Stack Developer on both short & long-term initiatives. Each project was vital to the studio’s survival, budgets ranged from $20,000-$200,000, and timelines ranged from 1 month to 1 year. I helped re-architect the back-end framework, and migrated the internal ActionScript 3 framework to a JS/HTML framework to ease the team's migration to HTML5.

He is a leader and ensures that projects get done on time and with quality. He’s also a great advocate for user testing and validating assumptions with customers first. All qualities of a great product manager, and a pleasure to work with.

Ahmed was a highly-regarded partner to my User Experience Design team during his entire tenure at Cineplex. My team benefited from his product leadership and he will definitely be missed. Cineplex’s loss is another organization’s gain and I wish him nothing but the best in all his future adventures!

Deepika Malik - Product & Design Leader

As a Product Manager Ahmed was always able to bring order to the chaos, keep the team focused on backlogs which deliver top priorities, and communicate effectively to business stakeholders and executive management. A great teammate and coach to junior colleagues, I would recommend Ahmed for almost any role!.

Paul Kennedy - Technology Executive

He handles complex scenarios and new challenges without hesitation, and consistently gives it his all. Ahmed is passionate about his products, cares about his colleagues and was a great person to have on the team!

Rina Whittaker - Product Management Leader

Ahmed is the kind of product owner I love working with as a UX Designer. There are hardly any roadblocks that he is not able to resolve for the team. And as far as user experience goes I can always rely on him to get constructive and the most valuable feedback on our designs. His leadership has been of great value to our team and any team will be extremely fortunate to have Ahmed join them.

Sneha Patel - User Experience Designer

I have been nothing short of 'blessed' to have Ahmed as my Reporting Manager. Working closely with him everyday, I was able to learn so many aspects of our business I was unaware of. Not only is Ahmed a great manager but a caring mentor and an excellent team lead who is cognizant of everyone's growth and learning opportunities.
