EDUCATION​
My name is Sayeed Aslam, and I have been a resident of the Williams Landing ward in Wyndham Council since 2013. Originally from Hyderabad, India, I came to Melbourne as a postgraduate student, a journey shared by many first-generation migrants like myself. I am an Australian by choice, not by chance, and it meant leaving loved ones behind, which wasn't easy.
For me, acquiring citizenship was not the culmination of my journey but rather its commencement. As a first-generation migrant, I am discovering unique challenges along the way. Below are my hard-earned academic qualifications:
- Bachelor's in Instrumentation Engineering
- Completed Masters in Telecommunication Engineering
- Master’s in Project Management
- Senior Executive Master’s in Business Administration (SEMBA) from Melbourne Business School in 2022
PROFESSIONAL
Throughout my extensive career spanning over 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work nationally and internationally. This experience has significantly developed my skills in project management, strategic planning, project implementation, and operational management. It has provided me with a deep understanding of technological implementations and enabled me to lead high-performing teams. My focus has been on transforming processes and applications into effective business solutions, aligning them closely with strategic objectives.
I have been privileged to contribute to multimillion-dollar projects for both client and contractor fronts, executing Green and Brown Field Projects, FEED, Detail Design, Project Engineering, Procurement Support, Commissioning Management and Start-Up for the Oil and Gas industry. This diverse experience has honed my ability to navigate complex technical challenges while delivering results.
As a strong advocate of transformational leadership, I believe in leveraging technological implementation, strategic planning, and goal setting to drive performance development strategies. Throughout my career, I have strived to create positive and enthusiastic working environments, fostering team leadership to improve productivity, reduce costs, and optimize business processes.
My journey has taken me across various roles and countries, allowing me to develop a global perspective and adaptability to different cultural contexts. This international exposure has been invaluable in shaping my approach to leadership and problem-solving in today's interconnected business landscape.
I am passionate about continuous improvement and staying at the forefront of industry trends. My commitment to excellence and innovation drives me to seek new ways to add value and drive sustainable growth for organizations.
SOCIAL SERVICE
https://haco.org.au
HACO is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to assisting community members who are not prepared for the final journey of a family member, friend, or acquaintance. I feel fortunate and privileged to have been involved with HACO since its inception.
While numerous organisations address the day-to-day needs of the community, HACO focuses on critical areas often overlooked due to their complexity and associated taboos. We not only advocate for women's leadership but actively support and promote it through concrete actions. Two key leadership positions within our organisation are held by women, marking HACO as a trailblazer within the Hyderabadi community.
My extensive experience working directly with the community has given me a profound understanding of the challenges faced by nonprofit organisations and individuals dedicated to community service. These challenges include:
As someone deeply rooted in grassroots efforts, I believe in the importance of hands-on involvement in addressing these challenges. Only those who have actively engaged in such causes can truly comprehend the complexities involved.
At HACO, our entire team provides essential support and mentoring as needed. We are committed to making a real difference in our community, one family at a time.
