Faiz M Chowdhury, recognized for his visionary leadership in the technology industry, has profoundly impacted solving global issues. His journey from humble beginnings in rural Bangladesh to founding, chairing, and leading a series of innovative companies showcases his dedication to bettering the world. Firsthand experiences with poverty marked his early years, a lack of primary healthcare, and the struggles brought on by natural disasters. Growing up without electricity, clean drinking water, or quality education, he developed a strong passion for science and a desire to create a brighter future for humanity, fueling his determination to overcome challenges and make a difference. His pursuit of higher education was a crucial step towards impacting the world. He earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. He completed advanced programs at Stanford and MIT Sloan School of Management and a Real Estate Executive Seminar at Harvard Business School. These experiences equipped him with the technical knowledge and leadership skills to address complex global challenges.

His career took a pivotal turn when he joined Intel Corporation in 1997. At Intel, he recognized the transformative power of technology and its potential to uplift humanity. Merging this insight with his early experiences, he envisioned a world free from hunger, poverty, pollution, and deadly diseases, leading him to leave Intel to pursue this vision. In 2009, he crossed paths with MIT Professor Ian W. Hunter, a prolific inventor with over 200 patents. This meeting led to Faiz joining Nucleus Scientific, Inc., which Professor Hunter founded and was developing groundbreaking "in-wheel" motor technology, electrifying the mobility industry.
