A person of diverse and multilingual background, Farid Abboud, enjoys learning new programming languages, graphic design and business analysis methodologies.  His passion – to leverage technology to improve business.

Farid’s first job as an MIS college graduate was to program a hospital’s electronic medical records system.  Shortly later, he was asked to relocate to the United Kingdom where he worked as a business analyst manager for a telecommunication company.  There he created and presented IT solutions to project stakeholders both locally and internationally.  A couple years later, he was transferred to the United States and worked on application development, created system requirements and workflow documents for AT&T.  It wasn’t long before he noticed a need for a business owner to be in control of software development and website content.  

In 2004, Farid created his own consulting company to allow employers to be in control of their website and office needs.  It was developed to create the ability for a user to manage his/her website remotely regardless of location, thus the name Interactive Virtual Office (IVO) was born.  Maintaining a strong culture of innovation at the core of his company, Farid created a simple CMS interface to deliver an efficient product but maintain its ease-of-use for the user.
