Singularity University
Salim is the best-selling author of Exponential Organizations, a sought-after business strategist, and a serial entrepreneur, having founded technology companies including Confabb, PubSub Concepts, and Ångströ, which was acquired by Google in 2010. He led Brickhouse, Yahoo!’s internal incubator, and was recently named an XPRIZE Foundation Board member.

Exponential Organizations reached No. 1 on Amazon’s “Best-Sellers in Business Management,” and was named Frost & Sullivan’s “Growth, Innovation and Leadership Book of the Year.” Following this success, Salim co-founded OpenExO and partner ExO Works to transform global business by catapulting organizations into the world of exponential thinking. He created a methodology (the ExO Sprint) to help businesses and organizations achieve 10x performance. ExO Works counts numerous global, Fortune 1000 companies as sprint clients, with more coming in the first quarter of 2019.
In fall 2018, Salim co-authored and released his second book, Exponential Transformation, which open sources the ExO Sprint methodology.
