TESTIMONIALS
I've been lucky enough to work with many amazing individuals. Here's a few testimonials from individuals I have tremendous respect for
Sanjiv Sirpal
Director of Product Design, Advanced Building Systems at Katerra
I've worked with Mo for much of the last fifteen years in a variety of roles, and leadership positions. Mo is an incredibly articulate and talented designer and design leader. He's the person who I constantly go to solve the toughest problems, on short timelines. I've watched Mo switch careers as a Software Engineer to a Product Design Leader all while working on some incredibly innovative products. Mo is gifted with a collaborative personality, and an intense passion for paying attention to the minute details that make exceptional products.
Mo has built inclusive and diverse teams and championed consumer products that reach millions. Mo is both a team player, and a force multiplier - creating business value wherever he works. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.
Christopher Tyghe
VP Strategic Development, Canada at Ingenico Group
Bluntly put, Mo Selim is one of the smartest people I have worked with in my 20 year career in technology. His insight and intuition are second to none. Working in a fast-paced start-up environment, where there are often more questions than answers, he injected focus and purpose at all turns.
His passion for creating intuitive yet powerful consumer experiences was inspirational to the entire organization. He also possesses the rare ability to take complex concepts and distill them down into a form that can be digested by non-technical cross functional teams. If you have chance to bring Mo onto your leadership team – jump at it.
Todd Lee
Senior Software Engineer at Google
Mo is one of those rare individuals that has the uncanny ability to, on one hand, transcend the fields of technology and design - taking complex concepts and ideas and distilling them down into real-world product designs that tend to blur the boundaries between what we accept as reality and what few are capable of imagining, while at the same time effectively bridging the two disciplines by translating those concepts into solid, practical designs of amazing fidelity.
I've had the pleasure of working with Mo across multiple teams, on multiple projects and I've always been impressed by his capacity for leadership and commitment to design excellence. He is a leader in every sense. Mo's design intuition and commitment to product excellence makes him a respected member of any design organization. His technical background and grasp of software concepts and practices extend that respect across engineering organizations.
Mo is simply one of the most capable people that I've worked with and I would welcome the opportunity to do it again. He is a credit to any organization smart enough to bring him on board!
Fuqu Wu
Senior User Experience Designer at Amazon
Mo has the super power of leading a design team to create an innovative yet realistic product with high impact from ground zero.
I have the privilege of working for him for the past 6 years, and from day one, he has shown me nothing but the utmost kindness, support and patience. He has been my inspiration since. Along our journey together, Mo’s vision and passion in UX design speak volumes of his unparalleled leadership abilities and the depth in knowledge. Mo is a leader who knows how to move the projects forward and to overcome insurmountable obstacles as they emerge. He guides, mentors and challenges his team and brings out the best in every designer.
Mo is one design leader that every organization should have.
Anthony Russello
Director of Design Software Development at Flex
I've worked with Mo for many years, and during that time I've come to appreciate the uncanny ability he has to communicate the details of a design. He's demonstrated the ability to lead by example, and to achieve high quality in everything he attempts.
His talents for design are of the highest calibre, and his capabilities scale based on whatever task he chooses to take on.
I look forward to one day working side by side with Mo in the future, and would definitely recommend him for any position he chose to undertake in the future.
Sepideh Shahi
Senior Inclusive Designer at OCAD University
Mo is the greatest, kindest and most patient mentor that I have ever worked with. His hardworking and work ethics have always been exemplary. I just wanted to thank Mo from the bottom of my heart for all his patience with me, for teaching me how to solve a UX problem step by step, and for trusting me with important projects regardless of how little my UX experience was.
Every time I am working on a UX problem, I’d ask myself how Mo would solve this issue, or what things Mo would find that I have missed. He is an amazing leader who shares his knowledge and enables his team to grow.
