Mobashar Shaffiq
Technology Strategy, Business Growth & Digital Transformation
A Technology Director, Co-Founder and independent Board Advisor with over 25 years of experience in enterprise digital transformation and business growth. Mobashar brings a founder’s perspective, technical expertise and practical experience of business acquisition and integration to organisations seeking independent oversight, constructive challenge and strategic direction.
A Commercial Perspective
As a member of the founding leadership team at NimbusPoint, a Salesforce consultancy, Mobashar helped build and scale the business over 15 years, culminating in its sale to a Canadian private equity firm in 2024. He was responsible for recruiting and developing a team of 30 professionals and managing a diverse client portfolio, from start-ups to organisations with turnovers exceeding £100 million.
During this period, the consultancy developed deep specialisms in manufacturing and education, alongside delivering outcomes across the public and non-profit sectors. This experience gives Mobashar insight into the challenges of growing a professional services business, developing talent and aligning technology delivery with commercial priorities.
Following the acquisition, he worked with the new owners during the integration phase, contributing to board-level discussions on strategic alignment and technical continuity. This provided practical experience of corporate governance and business transition from both founder and investor perspectives.
