About Mohammad:

Mohammad is the President and CEO of Softway. He started the business with his family at the age of 20 while pursuing his B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Houston. When Softway began in 2003, it was a small company that created websites for merchants in Houston. It has grown to a Business-to-Employee solutions company that offers Culture as a Service (CaaS) through its Seneca Leadership experiences, Culture+ Digital products, technology, and internal communication services for clients across the globe. The company has over 200 employees in its offices in Houston and Bengaluru. He is celebrated for creating and sustaining a humanity-centered culture at Softway based on the philosophy that love is a business strategy. However, there was a time when the company culture at Softway was so toxic that it almost caused the enterprise to fold. He took full responsibility for the problems at Softway and knew that, as the leader, he needed to change for the company to survive. After deep introspection, he eventually turned the company around. From this experience, Softway created Seneca, a product that helps other companies change their workplace culture. He lives in Sugar Land, Texas, with his wife Yulia, a five-time Olympic medalist spring-board diver from Russia, and his beautiful children, Sufia and Moshin. In his spare time, he enjoys fitness and watching college sports.
