Saad Alam - CEO and Co-founder
After 2 graduate degrees and 2 corporate marketing gigs Saad left his job to pursue his entrepreneurial passion. While spending countless hours, maybe even the better part of his life, in libraries he was inspired to create Citelighter in an attempt to help students organize their education. Saad holds a BS from SUNY Albany, MPH from Columbia University, and MBA from University of Rochester where he was the youngest student body president.
