The People
Behind the Mission

Shazia Sharaf
Shazia Sharaf
President & CEO

MEGA's mission starts and ends with Shazia. She built this company on the conviction that capital is a tool, and that in the right hands, it can change the trajectory of a community.

Mr. Nasim Siddiqi
Mr. Nasim Siddiqi
Chief Banking Officer

Nasim has spent his career building banking relationships in markets that most firms don't bother with. Those relationships are what give MEGA the credibility to operate at the scale it aims for.

Mr. Samuel Barlow
Mr. Samuel Barlow
Chief Technology Officer

The technology running under MEGA's mission doesn't run itself. Samuel keeps it coherent, building the infrastructure that connects the ambition to the outcome.

Mr. Gregory Quinn
Mr. Gregory Quinn
Chief Financial Officer

Gregory has spent his career turning ambitious ideas into financially coherent ones. At MEGA, that means making sure the mission doesn't outrun the money.
