Because Rubicon Technology Inc.
began with a new crystal-growth technology that was being developed and refined for
a brand-new industry, fostering innovation
and creativity was never a challenge — it
was an absolute necessity.
When Raja Parvez took the helm, the challenge was to harness the creative energies of
the company without smothering them. His
experience in building successful business
models for larger corporations combined
with his respect for the innovative drive of his
new employees to create an environment
where creative, well-educated, highly motivated employees would be constantly challenged to apply their minds to specific challenges.
Parvez is a leader who is willing to pair up
the most free-thinking, out-of-the-box
problem-solver with the most highly educated, disciplined engineer and challenge them
to work together on accomplishing a common goal. At the same time, he is a teammate
who will make sure that the different personalities will work together with respect and
determination to accomplish their common
goal.
Knowing that the best results will be
achieved when a diverse group of people
are brought together, he has fostered an
environment where teams are comprised of
people with Ph.D.s and people with GEDs.
Parvez understands that while pure creativity can generate incredible results, to build a
credible and sustainable business requires a
structure and vision that drives creative energy to dependable results. He says you have to
understand the importance of developing
new technologies as well as the importance
of quickly transforming those new technologies into sustainable processes.
