International Futurist and World Visionary

Born, Delhi, India, young Naseem Javed and his family, along with many thousands of other families, left partitioned India for the newly created Pakistan, 1947. Graduating, University of Karachi, B.A., 1964, Naseem gained valuable experience in the family-run printing and publishing business, learning marketing street smarts and the necessary sales skills required to embark on a marketing career in Canada. Immigrating to Montreal, 1967, Naseem’s graphic skills, international vision, and general marketing pizazz caught the eye of Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau, quick to discern that Naseem’s communication abilities would be a valuable asset to the Montreal Summer Olympics, 1976. He became an integral part of the new team, promoting and staging the hugely successful international sporting event during the hot summer of 1976. At the conclusion of the Montreal Olympics, Naseem was recognized as an international futurist and a world visionary. He then migrated to Toronto, Ontario, to establish ABC Namebank, a product and corporate consultant firm specializing in the creation of new corporate identity names. Over the last 20 years, Naseem and his company have productively guided clients to such recognized names as Telus, Gentra, Genexxa, Maximum, Celestica, and Minnova.
