Meet the Team

Charlie founded Culture15 and is leading the development of the business. His vision for Culture 15 is to provide organisations with a rigorous, business-centred framework with which to reliably measure and manage their culture.

His career in business has shown him that despite recognising that culture is the determining factor in business success (or failure), few organisations take the description, measurement and tracking of their culture seriously, dooming the topic to be subjective and peripheral in nature and dealt with in sporadic and superficial ways. This is the gap that Culture15 is laser-focused on filling.

Charlie lives in SW London with his wife, 3 children and 2 dogs.

Wahid is our Product Lead and is responsible for the functioning and development of the Culture15 platform.

Born with a computer in the cradle, Wahid developed a passion for computers (and technology in general) at a young age. He has pursued this focus in his studies and professionally, with the goal of creating innovative products and the ultimate user experience.

Wahid's work experiences across several European countries has convinced him that corporate culture is one of the keys to success of an organisation as well as the well-being of their employees, affecting all aspects of the organisation.

Wahid is French and lives in south London.

Since childhood Muhammad had a dream to work at Microsoft, and his dream came true when he got a summer internship at Microsoft, and became the youngest Pakistani ever to get the Internship. Muhammad has the utmost passion for software development. He pursued his passion in both his studies and professionally, with the goal of developing innovative products.

In the past Muhammad has helped grow start-ups from Silicon Valley, one of the apps Muhammad worked on had more than 10 million downloads on the app store. With all these work experiences across all organisational levels from Fortune 500 companies to many start-ups, Muhammad was convinced to go through entrepreneurial courses too, so he can put himself in the shoes of a start-up and help with their needs in a better way.

In his spare time, Muhammad enjoys watching F1, music, reading novels, socialising with friends and travelling to destinations worldwide.

Muhammad is Pakistani and lives in Hatfield.
