KASHIF SIDDIQUI
FOUNDER AND CEO
My education and work experience, coupled with my sincere desire to help students successfully navigate the Canadian academic and career landscapes, has given birth to KLIQ.
Born and raised in Ottawa, ON, I attended Carleton University for Mechanical Engineering because it was considered a prestigious program, but after various program switches, I ended up pursuing a career in IT. I currently have an Executive Masters in Business Administration from Queens University and various certifications in Cloud, Big Data, and Six Sigma. My 18 years of work experience has been to help organizations solve complex problems with the use of IT.
I have worked for various companies such as IBM, HP, Fujitsu, TD, RBC along with public sector organizations in Government, Municipal, and Hospitals.
Why KLIQ?
Because as someone who grew up in Canada, I know that more often than not, teachers and guidance counselors cannot provide enough help to high school students making possibly the biggest decision of their life. Students need to understand how the decisions they make today impact their lifestyles for tomorrow. And I believe I have found an easy, tech-savvy and efficient way for them to do that: KLIQ.ca.
