Shervin Gerami is not your typical CEO. Sure, he trained at Harvard and Wharton. Yes, he oversees day-to-day operations at TeleWorld Solutions and leads the company’s product and service development strategy departments. And, of course, he’s a proven entrepreneur, having previously founded and grown three companies in the IT, Internet, and Enterprise Mobility sectors, and been named an Entrepreneur of the Year finalist by Ernst & Young.

But Shervin is also a disruptor. When he sees the old way of doing things no longer works, he’s quick to find a solution that fits the new world. In creating SmallCellSite.com, he has turned traditional telecom site acquisition on its head. He’s unafraid to shake things up when status-quo no longer works. And he’s just getting started.

Aside from all of that, Shervin can also bring the beat. He integrates elements into his EDM tracks in the same way he plans and navigates business, ensuring that the baseline is the best it can be, and layering in the sounds one-by-one to create a sick composition. In the boardroom, his baseline comprises stellar people. He layers in an open-minded approach to problem-solving, a keen understanding of operator challenges, and deep technical and business expertise. Ultimately, he composes customer solutions unlike anything else offered by other wireless integrators.

In addition to harboring an uncommon and at times unsettling ability to create an analogy out of just about anything, he also collects superheroes. Does he see himself as Superman, Batman, or the Incredible Hulk? You’ll have to ask him yourself.
