Innovation strategist at the intersection of technology, fashion and culture. I serve as a strategic advisor to CEOs from early-stage startups to public companies, helping visionary brands build what doesn't exist yet—whether that's new products, business models or partnerships, that drive measurable results. With a multidisciplinary background spanning engineering, strategy consulting, data analytics, founding, and investing, I translate innovation opportunities into clear execution paths with direct P&L impact. I've also built NYC's premier fashion tech community—connecting 2,000+ founders, investors, and operators through my curated events and industry publication (The Pattern Maker). Join the conversation and attend future events by subscribing on substack. How I can support you: - Founders: Weekly office hours for fundraising and business strategy advising - Investors: Fashion/consumer tech diligence, deal sourcing, and collabing on community events - Executives: Innovation roadmapping and strategic partnership development - Event Organizers: Moderating, presenting and speaking at your events, collabing on community events I'm driven by one mission: bringing innovation and circularity to fashion while preserving what makes it magical. If that resonates with you, let's chat.

Shariq Abdul Ghani is the Executive Director of Minaret Foundation, an organization focused on bringing faith communities together through multi-faith and civic engagement. Apart from dialogue, dodgeball, and BBQs, Minaret Foundation works with faith communities to change the world through advocacy in food insecurity, child welfare, and religious freedom. For the past 11 years, Shariq has regularly spoken at faith centers, conferences, and educational institutions on topics ranging from American Muslim identity to faith-based advocacy and spirituality. In addition to teaching Islam through sermons and lectures, he works with clergy, policymakers, and law enforcement to provide insight into the American-Muslim community. Shariq was appointed as the Chairman of the City of Houston's Food Insecurity Board, and serves as a Director in his local Municipal Utility District, being the first Muslim elected to a position in Fort Bend County. He completed his graduate studies in Homeland Security from The Bush School at Texas A&M. He is currently pursuing his Master's in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution with a focus on peacebuilding from Columbia University. Shariq's passion is finding intersections between communities for collaboration and mutual growth and loves to connect with like-minded people over chai or burgers.
