Dr. Andy Khawaja founded Allied Wallet in 2005, and has since led the Southern California-based merchant processing firm to international success. Allied Wallet serves clients in almost every nation, and in almost every currency, in the world. Andy Khawaja is additionally a noted humanitarian and philanthropist, and serves on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), sharing his knowledge of cybersecurity and other issues of global concern.

Established more than 20 years ago, the bipartisan USCIRF is a product of the International Religious Freedom Act, or IRFA. The USCIRF monitors the progress of freedom of religion around the world, and brings abridgements to the attention of federal government authorities, making recommendations that can then serve the U.S. Secretary of State and other officials in making policy.

The USCIRF bases its reports and recommendations on international standards for religious freedom as a fundamental human right, as defined in key documents that include The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18 of that document states that every human holds an inherent right to freedom of conscience, which encompasses the right to adhere to and practice one’s chosen religion, both privately and publicly.

In 2005, Andy Khawaja established Allied Wallet, a digital payments company. As chief executive officer of the company, he uses his skills and experience in directing and guiding his team as they work towards the advancement of online payment transactions. For this and more accomplishments, Andy Khawaja has been given recognition as an ‘Iconic Figure of Finance’ by CEO Monthly, a publication under the reputable international publishing house AI Global Media.

CEO Monthly believes that chief executive officers hold the majority of the responsibility and power in an organization. Businesses only survive and thrive with good leadership. Thus, successful businesses equate to competent leaders. Effective leaders and chief executive officers ideally possess the following traits:

A successful CEO remains open to learning. A global leader in business growth, Cameron Herold considers those who are open to learning as the smartest CEOs. Being open to learning is one of the best skills a CEO could acquire as they spend time and energy in finding out the missing information and filling that gap.

An effective CEO knows how to listen attentively. According to research on Developing Exceptional Executives conducted by Navalent, top executives stand out in their consistency in listening and seeking out ideas from others. They combine their views and others’ opinions in solving organizational problems.

A competent CEO also practices realistic optimism. The greatest CEOs know how to identify and differentiate great but unrealistic ideas that lack a real-world application. They study and know the decisions that might affect the company’s position and are careful to take calculated risks.
