Leadership

Meet Our Founder

Mr. Husein Atari

Founder & President, CLI Solutions

Mr. Husein Atari joined the United States Air Force in 1989, where his expertise in all Arabic dialects and Middle East culture led him to serve as a cultural advisor at U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) — one of the most prestigious roles he held both in uniform and later as a contractor. He provided expert interpretation and cultural support to senior USCENTCOM leadership, directly shaping U.S. policy and strategy in the Middle East.

After 13 years of military service, Mr. Atari returned to USCENTCOM as a Department of Defense contractor, where he played a key role in establishing and expanding the command's Open Source intelligence unit. In 2005, he founded CLI Solutions, which has proudly supported USCENTCOM and other federal clients ever since.
