Hamid Azzawe

Hamid Azzawe is a career coach and startup advisor, and the founder of BeReady Horizons. He arrived in Canada as a teenager, began his career at IBM Canada, and went on to lead product, engineering and AI teams at Amazon, Bloomberg and Meta. He has twice served as a CEO, and today works with founders as a fractional CPO, CTO and Head of AI. He speaks English and Arabic.

Through iCaria Together, Hamid offers career coaching, from a first job in Canada to a step up into leadership, and four services for founders and growing companies: launching a startup without a technical team, and serving as their fractional Chief Product Officer, Chief Technology Officer or Head of AI. Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute consultation by video call, and is priced by its scope.

How he works: assess where time is lost and where AI creates the most value; prioritize a few high-value workflows; redesign and build them with clear human and AI roles, guardrails and metrics; enable the team role by role; then measure and keep improving.
