In this episode, host David Mansilla is joined by Azam Beyk, a former professional football player, telecom engineer, and the visionary founder of Neoma.

From surviving the ruins of the Yugoslavian war in Croatia to facing career-ending sports injuries, Azam’s path to tech leadership was anything but traditional. He opens up about the painful two-year emotional transition of rebuilding his life, how he went from deep-tech engineering to corporate pre-sales, and why he ultimately stepped away from corporate life to build an AI platform that is modernizing how enterprises and high-tech vendors collaborate.

If you want to build a deeply aligned, resilient, and human-centric organization, Azam’s unique leadership perspective will change how you view your business.
