Lt Col (R) Muhammad Shahzad Sarwar brings a credential no Silicon Valley résumé can replicate — active operational intelligence work in Pakistan's tribal regions, United Nations peacekeeping in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and budget governance for formations of 2,500+ personnel.

He founded CGW in 2025 to bring military-grade discipline and intelligence methodology to the world of AI product development — where most teams ship fast but think shallow.
