"Khwaja is one of the few people in the IT industry who can credibly share his thought leadership on emerging technologies like cloud computing, IoT and Artificial Intelligence. He draws from his experience working for PwC, Bank of America and IBM and applies these lessons to business model innovation.
In his lecture to my graduate students in Cloud Computing he explained how to create innovative products and services using tactical and practical techniques. We are lucky to have him in the Jacksonville area in mentoring our students."

Khwaja and I met by chance at a UNF event and immediately identified the potential to leverage the mutual interests of Bank of America and the university.

As a result of his efforts, BAC and UNF have a stronger and growing partnership that will impact the Jacksonville region for years to come.
