Career
Jaludi began his career in data center operations as an entry-level tape librarian with Citicorp in 1985 on Wall Street in New York City.

Abdul left Citicorp in 1985 for a performance management role with Lehman Brothers, but returned to the command center two years later. Abdul remained with Citigroup, where he rose to senior vice president managing the North America Enterprise Systems Management team, responsible for command center alerting and automation. WAIS was chosen by the Citigroup security standards committee as the global tool for emergency access requests. He left Citigroup in 2013 under questionable circumstances.

An avid believer in the benefits of proactive monitoring and transparency within the field of information technology, he began writing about effective leadership and IT best practices. His blog in Smart Enterprise Exchange led him to write books on process improvements from a leader's perspective and command centers.

In 2013, unable to find a book on command centers, he researched, drew from his experience as a command center manager, designer, and builder, and wrote the first book on the subject.

Abdul also publishes under the pen names Atticus Aristotle and O.M. Kiam.
