When searching for new team members, NAX Group doesn’t just look for talent.
“We seek out the ‘genius misfits’ of the world — those who don’t just break the mold, but shatter it,” said Maher Masri, president of NAX Group.
According to Masri, employees at NAX have ample opportunity to do that every day as they drive the AI software company’s efforts to quickly commercialize consumer and enterprise products. That’s why it’s essential for these individuals to prioritize developing their skills, so they can continually rise to meet the challenges that exist within the industry.
A strong growth mindset forms the backbone of the professional development model at NAX, enabling team members to leverage cutting-edge technology and seek support from their peers and leaders. Masri added that employees often engage in projects pertaining to different business areas as a way to bolster their personal experience and support the business.
“This enriches skill sets and fuels better business and product development,” he said.
Since its inception, the company has sought to build a diverse, multidisciplinary team of individuals with a myriad of backgrounds and experiences. Masri believes it’s up to leaders, including himself, to ensure employees have space to knowledge-share broadly.
“By eliminating obstacles and paving the way for seamless workflows, we create a pathway for the diverse talents we’ve gathered, enabling them to unlock their full potential,” he said.
With room to thrive, NAX’ “genius misfits” are empowered to cultivate creativity, accomplish exceptional work and amplify their impact on the world. Below, Masri shares more about the company’s leadership philosophy, growth-focused culture and future plans to fuel innovation.
UNLOCKING AI’S POTENTIAL
NAX’ AI-powered software platform is designed to unlock the potential within corporate data sets, enabling rapid product discovery and launch at scale. Masri noted that this technology supports the company’s commitment to environmental, social and governance principles, ensuring a “harmonious integration of economic progress and responsible corporate citizenship.” And while the organization has been successful in its efforts to unlock the value of corporate assets to fund ESG so far, the path to progress is far from over. “We’re excited to share NAX’ journey as we work together to unlock the full potential of AI and create a brighter, more sustainable future for all,” he said.
