Our leader and CEO

My name is Vaseem Ahmed, and I understand first-hand the challenge and impact of recruiting senior executives for global market leading companies. My motivation for establishing Capumen reflects the frustrations I faced as a senior executive trying to source the very best candidates from around the world in fast moving and innovative corporate environments.

Our story and the success of Capumen is due to our unique global contact network developed over a lifetime working for some of the world’s best companies. We really are not just another search and selection recruitment company.

Having worked in the UK for some of the best in the world I developed industry knowledge and an extensive global network.  Working in both developed and emerging markets, I have held senior positions across companies as diverse as Logica, British Airways (BA), British Telecom (BT), Deutsche Telekom, Vizzavi and lastly Vodafone, where I was an Executive.

I am proud to say I had a successful track record as a leader, high performer, 'people' person and strategist with an enviable record of delivering outstanding results. I was formally trained in Engineering & IT before making the switch to a career in Sales & Marketing so am equally at home with Commercial and Technology professionals.
