As a Chartered Accountant for over 20 years, Naheel has worked for some of the world’s largest companies, holding senior positons across a variety of industries. This business and finance experience has given him valuable insight as to what it takes for a company to be successful, as well carefully and strategically navigate through complicated business issues.
Early in his career, in the early 1990’s, Naheel was a senior partner at a residential home developer as well as a condominium developer, learning the challenges faced by the home building industry first-hand. In 2000, Naheel set out to starting something fresh: a new vision and goal for building homes.
This was the genesis of HUSH. The HUSH concept that Naheel created was focused on shifting from the end product and focus instead on the buyer’s experiences. With design, education, customer involvement, and post-move services, Naheel wanted create a company that focused on putting the buyer first with tangible and real processes and concepts. After extensive research and consultation, the “Hush Methodology” was created and launched – resulting in a massive change and paradigm shift to the way development is normally done.
Naheel also realized that great service and experience had to be complimented by a great product. This is why HUSH is fiercely focused on leading edge technology and innovative products, including a comprehensive Green building practice.
