Sohaib Abbasi
Sohaib Abbasi is chairman and former CEO of Informatica, and a former executive of Oracle Corporation. He was born in Lahore, Pakistan and moved to various cities with his father, an air force official, before reaching the United States in 1974. Abbasi earned a Bachelor's, and later a Master's degree, in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined Oracle in 1982 when it had only 30 employees and the revenue was about four million dollars a year. Abbasi spent 20 years at Oracle Corporation where he was a member of the company’s executive committee and, as Senior Vice President, led two major divisions: Oracle Tools and Oracle Education. When he left the company in March 2003, Oracle had more than 42,000 employees and annual revenues of US $9.5 billion.
Abbasi became chief executive of data integration software company Informatica in July, 2004 at a time when the company was struggling financially and with its identity. Abbasi took the helm and refocused the company on a narrower set of products, while evangelizing the broader use of data integration across the enterprise. Under his leadership, Informatica's revenues have jumped from $219 million in fiscal 2004 to $455 million in fiscal 2008. Informatica’s 20 percent growth rate over this period was 2.5 times the average for the software industry. Since Abbasi joined Informatica, the company has won numerous awards. Upon Informatica's acquisition in August 2015, Abbasi stepped down as CEO, but remained as chairman.
==Charity==
Since the September 11 attacks an Islamic studies program and a professorship have been initiated at the prestigious Stanford University, California, with an endowment of US $9 million. A significant aspect of the program is the generous donation of 2.5 million dollars by a Pakistani couple, Sara and Sohaib Abbasi.
The support provided by the couple for the program—Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies—includes graduate fellowships, research, new library, strengthened language courses at advanced levels and regular public programs such as lecture series by eminent scholars. At the same time Stanford alumni Lysbeth Warren made a gift of two million dollars for a new professorship on Islam. Both the gifts were matched by the Stanford University with a grant from William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, taking the total amount of endowment for the program and professorship to nine million dollars.
