Reshma Sheikh
Reshma Sheikh is Managing Director of Octavian UK. She joined Octavian in 2014 having left a promising legal career, so that she could have the flexibility and freedom to spend more time with her children. Something her previous role could not accommodate. Being the ambitious/hardworking individual she is, she excelled within Octavian and is now Managing Director of the UK company. Octavian is an international provider of security, facilities management and more recently IT solutions/support, operating throughout the UK, Africa, Middle East and USA. Diversification into new markets and World-wide locations over the years has been a key driver for Octavian’s growth. As an industry security expert, following the Paris attacks, Octavian were approached by a Global High Profile Fashion Giant to see if we could provide a solution to protect their employees. Reshma was part of the team that developed – bSafe! - which is a bespoke employee travel safety platform app which delivers real-time incident response, carries digital images of travel documents and ID, informs employee and employer about troubled geographical hotspots, and provides an anonymous feedback tool for HR/ Executive Management. This app is an invaluable tool for all global companies with employees that travel.
