Our Story

Founded in 2020 with a mission to transform diversity and inclusion in technology recruitment

Diversity is not just a buzzword

It is an integral way of operating that helps to produce high performance in any organisation. Founded in 2020, Razorpoint is a young company with a mission to help solve the problem of diversity and inclusion in tech.

We do this by educating companies, mentoring tech professionals and sourcing hard-to-find talent through partnerships with like-minded groups. Our recruitment process is designed to eliminate barriers and the often subconscious and innocent bias which can hold-back effective hiring.

Our partners and clients include a variety of outstanding companies in areas such as e-commerce, artificial intelligence and tech management consulting.

Our dedicated team brings together diverse backgrounds and expertise to transform technology recruitment

Naz Khan

Recruitment Consultant

Naz has a vast amount of experience working in Education, healthcare, and Technology. Being born and raised in London plays a huge part in her being exposed to people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Her background in Education has shown Naz how important it is to be in an inclusive community, and the importance of encouraging diverse groups of children into the world of technology and STEM in general.

Naz is a mother of two girls and is determined to help change the current norm and be an advocate for DE&I in the world of Tech as well as other industries. Outside of work Naz enjoys travelling and exploring different countries and cultures and practices Jiu-Jitsu!

Sami Sharif

Founder and Director

Sami is no stranger to diversity in people, thought or work environments. He was raised in the UK, lived in China, Saudi Arabia and other countries and now currently lives in the UAE..

As a graduate of accountancy and finance, Sami worked as an analyst at Morgan Stanley and later at PricewaterhouseCoopers. These experiences gave him a good understanding of business and in 2017 he began his career as an entrepreneur, his true passion.

Continuing from his first business which he started while at university, Sami founded sports apparel business Piyax which he later sold. Since then, Sami became exposed to the incredible world of tech and the inherent lack of diversity that existed in companies like Google to smaller startups in London. In 2020, he set about on a mission to solve that problem and founded Razorpoint. An avid traveller, Sami has travelled and lived in several countries including Tanzania, Saudi Arabia and China.

Kwame Asembo

Recruitment Consultant

Kwame was born in Oxford but grew up in Newbury. He moved to London to study Undergraduate Law at the University of West London and further obtained a Masters in Law at BPP University. While completing his studies, he worked part time at a pub and rose to become one of the managers.

Originally wanting a career as a Solicitor, he felt disillusioned with the lack of diversity and wasn't happy. Kwame has since been revitalised in the recruitment field and is eager to soak up as much knowledge and expertise as possible.

He loves playing and watching sports with his particular favourites being Football and Rugby. He is a passionate Liverpool FC and London Irish RFC fan and interestingly enough has a signed autobiography from footballing legend, Pelé, who is widely regarded as one of the best players of all time. That'll be worth a pretty penny in the future. Kwame is also a keen gamer and a lover of movies. You'll be hard pressed to find a movie he hasn't watched.
