What does it take to transition from being a fresh engineering graduate in a six-person start-up to managing global community initiatives for an industry leader like Milestone Systems? For one professional, the journey began with an unexpected opportunity, a night spent troubleshooting, and a relentless drive to succeed.
While working at MVP, a fast-growing tech startup, Haider’s path crossed with Milestone Systems. At MVP, he was part of a small but ambitious team of six, helping the company evolve into a premium technology reseller.

Joining Milestone was more than a career move for Haider—it was an opportunity to grow, innovate, and collaborate on a global scale. From the start, he was drawn to Milestone’s diverse, inclusive environment, where colleagues from around the world brought unique perspectives to the table.
In his hybrid role, Haider became a bridge between technology partners and the sales team. He used his technical expertise to identify gaps and align solutions with market needs. This position allowed him to combine strategic vision with hands-on problem-solving, making his work both dynamic and impactful.
Milestone also catered to opportunities for continued learning, growth, and shaping Haider’s career path by offering roles that suited his expertise and interests. The company’s commitment to professional development played a crucial role in helping him thrive and evolve within the organization.
Haider’s contributions didn’t stop at his immediate role. His long-standing relationships in the Middle East often came into play, enabling him to assist former colleagues and partners in the region.
