I turn complex problems into clear, thoughtful digital products.
A hands-on design principal with 15 years of experience shaping products from 0 to 1, driving growth, and scaling teams — across startups, scaleups, and enterprise tech.
I lead product strategy and design at Mobal. Previously, I designed products at Smartly, Microsoft, Freshworks, and Zoho.
I bring sharp design, clear thinking, and a bias for business impact. I enjoy finding a way through messy domains — from enterprise SaaS and advertising to AI. Craft, creativity, customer obsession, collaboration, and commitment shape how I work.
At Smartly, I helped performance marketing teams simplify paid social workflows. At Microsoft, I contributed to Office Lens, M365, and Teams. At Freshworks and Zoho, I redesigned products and built B2B experiences from scratch.
Sheik's strategic input within the extended leadership team showcased his strong leadership and collaborative skills, helping shape our organization with insights from his diverse experiences.
Beyond his professional capabilities, Sheik is a person of integrity and positivity. His passion for design and collaborative spirit left a lasting impact on everyone at Mobal.
