Faisal Hoque is an internationally known entrepreneur, and author, and the Founder and CEO of BTM Corporation (Business Technology Management Corporation). For his commitment to business technology convergence, CIO Quarterly magazine designated him, ‘Mr. Convergence’. In May 2008, the editors of Ziff Davis Enterprise named him as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Technology for conceiving and developing Business Technology Management (BTM), helping organizations transform into ‘whole-brained enterprises'.

Two of his previous 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”. A former senior executive at General Electric (GE) and other multi-nationals, he built his first commercial business technology product at the age of 19 while studying at the University of Minnesota. A native of Bangladesh, Hoque recently further dedicated his attention to those less fortunate by establishing BTM Agrim in an effort to develop innovative social business models. He has written numerous articles and papers for such publications as BusinessWeek, The Economist, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Baseline, and CIO Magazine, and is a frequent public speaker.
