“Serviceaide is a leader in the Service Management industry, providing our customers with confidence that their IT resources meet the business needs of their organization and end-users,” said Wai Wong, CEO of Serviceaide. “We are building on that leadership and reshaping ITSM by marrying our world-class SaaS solution with the innovation of AI and big data. I am confident that Abed, with his breadth of experience, technology acumen and high-level strategic thinking, will be a key leader in helping Serviceaide usher our customers into a new era of ITSM.”

“I could not think of a better time to be joining Serviceaide as the company embarks on Re-Inventing IT Service Management with Artificial Intelligence,” Farhan said. “The ITSM industry is undergoing a huge transformation in order to provide users with a more efficient, effective and enriched solution and I am excited to be part of the company that is leading the charge of innovation and change.”

Over his career, Farhan has a strong history of incubating new businesses and building world-class sales teams. He is adept at strategic planning, business development, ecosystem development, M&A, complex OEM sales, and developing new monetization models and routes to market. Prior to joining Serviceaide, Farhan was Senior VP of Global Business Development & Alliances and Senior VP of Field Operations for Webtrends, a global leader in the web analytics industry.
