Usman Sheikh’s family migrated from Pakistan to Canada. He describes their experiences as they navigate the migrant experience and how they were all shaped by their backgrounds and life experiences.
While his parents worked hard to sustain the family and provide education, he became involved with gangs and bad behaviour and finally dropped out of school behind their backs. Usman eventually removed himself from that environment, went back to school, ended up a CPA then created a successful marketing business offering opportunities to others from underprivileged backgrounds.
Biography
As the founder and CEO, he believes he is the Chief Motivating Officer of Web Worx Labs. He started the company over seven years ago to help his friends while working in the corporate world full-time in planning & analytics.
Before he knew it, he was helping more people with their digital marketing than he could handle and realized the need to find an all-star team dedicated to helping customers the same way he helped his friends and family.
He loves helping onboard new clients, setting & aligning the strategy and ensuring all projects and campaigns are set up for success. Before starting Web Worx Labs, he led organizations towards high growth with a focus on all things, including planning, finance, strategy, branding, marketing & analytics.
He is a proud father of three, a read-a-holic and passionate about strategy and the internet of things.
