Bangladeshi Faisal Hoque Named One of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Technology

A native of Bangladesh, Faisal Hoque, http://www.faisalhoque.com/ Founder, Chairman and CEO of the BTM Corporation, has been named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Technology by the editors of Ziff Davis Enterprise.

Ziff Davis Enterprise editors name the people shaping the future of technology.

The editorial staffs of eWEEK and sister publications CIO Insight and Baseline put their heads together to name the Top 100 Most Influential People in IT.

To come up with this year’s list, they looked for people who not only had a tangible track record of IT success, but also have far-reaching influence, the ability to effect change and a deep level of engagement in developing emerging technologies

The last criteria is especially important, as they wanted to highlight the people who are on the leading edge of technology development—those who are shaping not only the products we use and the model by which they are delivered, but also the way in which we work.

Hoque (#55) was ranked alongside luminaries including Oracle’s Larry Ellison, Apple’s Steve Jobs, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer, IBM’s Sam Palmisano, HP’s Mark Hurd, Google’s Larry Page & Sergey Brin, One Laptop Per Child’s Nicholas Negroponte, Wikia’s Jimmy Wales, Venture capitalist John Doerr, Author Gary Hamel, Professor Tom Davenport and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Hoque founded Business Technology Management (BTM) in 1999 to converge business and technology, transforming companies into ‘whole-brained enterprises.’ Along the way, Hoque has written five management books, established a non-profit institute, and become a leading authority on effective interaction between business and technology. BTM Corporation has twice been named one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America in the annual Deloitte Technology Fast 500. CIO Quarterly magazine recently nicknamed Hogue ‘Mr. Convergence.’

Two of his books, Sustained Innovation and Winning The 3-Legged Race, were included in the "Top 5 Transformation Books" of the last few years, while Sustained Innovation also ranked in CIO Insight magazine’s "Editor’s Picks: The 10 Best Business Books of 2007."

In 2003, Hoque founded the BTM Institute, a non-profit global think tank, promoting the collaborative research efforts for the science of business technology management.
