The Digital Transformationalist

Farid Mheir is an engineer of the digital age. Bridging the gap between the rigorous constraints of microelectronics and the boundless possibilities of the "AI Economy," Farid has spent four decades architecting the digital future. A graduate of École Polytechnique de Montréal with a Master’s in Microelectronics, he combines large systems engineering discipline with business strategy. His career began as a microelectronics engineer, building the devices that power the digital world.Later, in the trenches of the dot-com boom, he designed, built and operated the first e-commerce solution for grocers with IGA in 1996, pioneering online logistics long before the cloud existed. He went on to build the first solutions for other large supermarkets in North America and Europe.Today, Farid leads fmcs.digital, an independent advisory firm he founded in Montréal that prioritizes architectural integrity over vendor alliances. As a faculty member at the McGill Executive Institute, he translates complex technological shifts into actionable strategies for the C-Suite, helping leaders navigate the transition from digital scarcity to the age of "intelligence abundance".In AI Mindsets, Farid synthesizes his experience with over 50 corporations as a strategic advisor and CTO. A recognized voice in the Québec innovation ecosystem, he often speaks at events and seminars on the mindsets required for AI transformation.
