My expertise extends to FinTech and EduTech, where I have helped firms manage financial strategies, regulatory complexities, data transformation, whilst staying ahead of market shifts with innovative, tech-forward insights. In EduTech, I launched an innovative digital product, the Harvard Business Analytics Program, a $55,000 program that has generated over $85 million in revenue and now has over 2,000 alums.
So, friends know me simply as Axe. Traditionally, my name was spelled Axbdimajid Axhmed, hence the Axe. My journey began in Minnesota, where I developed a love for the outdoors and a determination to live life to its fullest. From summiting Mount Rainier to advocating for cancer awareness, I've embraced challenges head-on. Diagnosed with cancer at as a young adult and been lucky enough to be cured, I didn’t let it stop me. Instead, I used it as fuel to push further—into the mountains, into tech, and into making a difference.
I'm a digital innovation strategist and data scientist who thrives on tackling complex challenges and driving transformational change. With a Master of Science in Business Analytics & Administration from Georgetown University and over a decade of hands-on experience in advanced analytics, AI, and data architecture, I've worked across diverse industries, including financial services, ed-tech, and healthcare, to deliver impactful solutions.
I’m passionate about using data to unlock new growth opportunities and optimize business processes. From developing an AI-Driven Customer Insights Platform that increased engagement by 40% to leading predictive analytics initiatives that improved student retention by 17%, my work is all about turning data into actionable insights that make a difference. I enjoy leading cross-functional teams and collaborating with partners to bring innovative ideas to life, ensuring strategies are not only ambitious but also achievable.
Beyond the world of data, I'm a proud father of two, husband to Laura for 11 wonderful years, and an avid outdoor enthusiast. I thrive on challenges—whether it's summiting Mount Rainier, cycling through new terrains, or leading cross-functional teams to deliver transformative results. I also played basketball competitively, which instilled in me the discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Whether on the peak of a mountain or leading a project, I bring the same level of energy, focus, and determination to everything I do.
This is just a glimpse into who I am and what drives me. I’m excited to share more about my journey, experiences, and passion for using data to fuel innovation and create meaningful change.
