Growth and Results
An entrepreneur at heart, I started my first business at the age of nineteen.
Over the course of my 23-year career, I’ve been on the ownership side of half a dozen ventures and have served in an advisory capacity to over 500 executives across more than two dozen industries.

Background
I migrated to the US from Pakistan at the age of 15. Growing up in a country like Pakistan where there aren’t really any opportunities – especially entrepreneurial – one gains a special appreciation for a place like NYC.
I’ve always had an innate drive to maximize my potential. I had no idea what it looked like, I just knew that I wanted to become more and that I was willing to pay the price for it in hard work and sacrifice.
In my junior year of college, I got an entrepreneurial opportunity in finance, and I started working 16-hour days, up to six days a week. Surely, within a few years, we started experiencing breakout success and were grossing seven figures annually. But, shortly thereafter, the business crashed and I lost it all.
Why Work with Hamza?
Both the depth and breadth of my experience and knowledge put me in a unique position to add immense value as an advisor. I’ve spent a lifetime honing and mastering all three of the following criteria that I believe an excellent coach must possess:
1. Business knowledge and experience.
2. In-depth content knowledge of the craft of coaching and the associated practical experience.
3. The crucial effectiveness that sparks behavioral change.
