About the Podcast

North Star
North Star is an internal podcast for the people of AME, Conexus and Nordomatic US. Every episode is a conversation about where the business is going and why: the strategy, the decisions behind it, the projects worth knowing about, and the people doing the work. No press releases, no polish for its own sake. If you work here, this is the thinking you would otherwise only hear secondhand.

Hosted by Ahmed Shehata, Director of Strategic Initiatives, with regular appearances from Amit Patel, President, Nordomatic US; Peter Andersen, EVP Finance, Nordomatic US; Paul Yingling, EVP Operations, Nordomatic US; Dylan Albach, Director, AME; and Kurt Twiford, Director, Conexus.

Profile picture for Ahmed Shehata

Ahmed Shehata

Ahmed Shehata is Director of Strategic Initiatives at AME, part of the Nordomatic Group. Before joining he spent his career in public education finance, most recently as CFO of Clifton Public Schools, where he ran a $300 million budget and a $168 million bond program. He started North Star for a simple reason. Most of what shapes this company gets decided in rooms most people never sit in, and that seemed like a fixable problem.
