Mansur T. Plumber (b. 1967-) is the founder and CEO of AdComp Systems Group.

As a boy, growing up in Mumbai, India, Mansur spent many a weekends and summers at his dad's electronics shop. This early exposure to technology fueled Mansur's creativity and love for technology. In 1986, Mansur moved to the United States to pursue his engineering education and in 1989 he launched AdComp Systems as an IT company in New York City, with zero capital.

In the last 21 years, Mansur Plumber has been involved in successfully navigating AdComp's business through several stages as opportunities have presented themselves. From 1989 to 1995, Mansur was primarily working on Novell networks and Windows NT servers and PC hardware. Selling computer hardware, software and networking services to companies in the New York City area. Mansur was joined by his elder brother Aziz Plumber in business in about 1995. While Aziz took the responsibilities of managing the company's finances and administration, Mansur continued down the path of Business Development and Project Engineering.

Around 1995, Mansur had an opportunity to design and create one of the earliest self service, Internet-Email Terminals. This project led Mansur to launch his company into the exciting world of self service kiosks. The kiosk business grew large enough that Aziz & Mansur decided to create another company (TELeasy Corp), which primarily dealt with kiosks of all kinds. Over the years, TELeasy has developed and deployed thousands of Internet Kiosks, Bill Payment kiosks, DVD rental kiosks, recycling kiosks etc.

Until 2001 AdComp conducted all of its business from its New York City office on Broadway, across from the World Trade Center. When 9/11 happened, AdComp's business was disrupted for a couple of months. Mansur, missed being under the World Trade Center rubble by a couple of minutes, when his train headed to the WTC building suddenly stopped. AdComp's business existence was questionable in those uncertain times. In the following weeks, the two brothers decided that Mansur would move with his family to Dallas, TX and launch a new branch office to continue the business of building kiosks, while Aziz would continue to run the IT service business in New York City.

This decision eventually turned out well for the two brothers. TELeasy's kiosk business was better run from Dallas than it could ever have from New York. Over the years, AdComp's IT services business was dwarfed by the growth in kiosk sales.

In the Dallas area, Mansur latched on to another business opportunity that has now become a big part of AdComp's revenues. AdComp Systems got involved in the digital video surveillance business. In 2003 Mansur designed a wireless, mobile, windows based surveillance and tracking system for school buses. The digital wireless system allowed school transportation officials not only download videos wirelessly from school buses, but, also get daily reports and alerts of any malfunctioning equipment on the buses.

In 2009, Mansur designed and launched another new concept called schoolbus-TV. Schoolbus-TV is a concept that keeps students safer and makes them smarter while riding in school buses. In 2010, [|Al Primo], the founder of Eyewitness News joined Mansur as a strategic partner in this initiative. Currently, Mansur is working on several new ground breaking projects that involve self service media downloads and Smart Phone applications, which cannot be spoken of until launch due to contractual obligations.
