Fred Hassani

Fred founded Tesla in 2009 with the sole goal of helping the government function better. While some people believe the government’s problems are beyond being solved, Fred doesn’t buy that.

Sure, the solutions may not come easily, and Tesla’s expertise may not be able to answer every question—but Fred is unwavering in his belief that solutions can be found with patience, persistence, and an open mind.

In his experience, which includes more than 20 years at the State Department (both domestically and abroad), the hardest problems are only solved through deliberate, iterative interactions. This approach results in a robust, evolving understanding of how to solve the needs at hand.

Fred and his team have been fortunate to contribute to groundbreaking government initiatives, and this experience has informed the process for building systems that outperform clients’ expectations time after time. Under Fred’s leadership, Tesla has developed a culture of creating results that work and endure.
