Managing Partner JLA Advisors

"Yousef was one of my very first hires when I came to Narus with the goal of creating a Big Data & Cyber Analytics company, he had the monumental task to not only rebuild the engineering organization, but also to create a NEW skill set mix between C++... JAVA... Web Services & UI/UX. All from a dead stop, while also transitioning the company from a Waterfall Engineering methodology to an AGILE approach. He did an excellent job! The output of never missing a date, being on time and on budget was greatly appreciated and trusted. If he says it is going to get done... he made it happen! One my best hires ever... and true professional & gentlemen."
