Business leader, engineer and community builder Mr. Bashir is the Executive Chair of Originus Ltd. which is made up of three operating companies: Williams Engineering Canada Ltd., Umbra Engineering Ltd., and DB Technologies LP. Originus Ltd.’s primary purpose is to build, acquire, and operate companies that contribute to sustainable cities and communities with the primary goal of making them safe, inclusive, and resilient.

Technological disruption occupies a key place in his view of strategy. Challenging the norm while committing to and investing in a digital journey enables businesses to discover endless possibilities. Applying any successes, failures, and lessons learned during that same journey contributes to a more positive outcome and experience for team members, customers, and the cities and communities we are all a part of.
