Moe Haidar

Moe is an accomplished financial leader specializing in aggressive software development consulting industry growth. Ten years ago, Dialexa was a scrappy technology startup that Moe helped rapidly scale—without any external investment or capital. The role was to oversee the financial well-being of the company, but his goal was aggressive growth. Moe built and managed high-performance teams and led accurate, actionable analyses and strategies to expand our fledgling company from minimal startup resources to a solid product engineering company. He heavily contributed to building and scaling the company’s foundation that now manages the strain of more than 70% annual growth, retains hundreds of people, and solves complex technical problems for the world’s biggest companies. It was only a matter of time before we caught the eye of IBM—and Moe subsequently led the financial process of IBM’s acquisition of Dialexa in 2022. His values have been the primary driver of his career. Moe is transparent, straight-forward, and ethical—always. He is also an innate problem solver and strategic planner who works well under pressure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he built and led the financial plan that positioned Dialexa for not only safety, but growth while maintaining high employee and client retention.
