“Witnessing firsthand the debilitating effects of Lewy Body dementia on my mother — and the emotional toll it took on my father as her caregiver — has made me a firm believer in the Parkinson’s Association of SWFL’s mission to improve the quality of life for everyone affected by this disease, including the unsung heroes who care for their loved ones with quiet strength and devotion.”           
​                    Karim Mawji, Board Member

Prior to launching Eagle Talon, Mr. Mawji founded Paragon Intel, a fintech alternative data firm focused on leadership analytics, and Dentonia Park, a special situations hedge fund. He previously held roles as a principal investor, equity analyst, and M&A/restructuring banker at Morgan Stanley, Deloitte & Touche, and several hedge funds.

Mr. Mawji holds a BA in History from the University of Western Ontario and an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. He is a CFA® charterholder and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in Canada.

He and his wife Betty relocated to Naples, Florida in 2021 after living in New York City for more than two decades. Their daughter is pursuing a PhD at Cornell University, and their son, a Princeton graduate, works in New York City. Outside of work, Karim enjoys spending time with his family, practicing yoga, and staying active on the pickleball and squash courts in both Naples and Manhattan.

​ The Mission of the Parkinson Association of Southwest Florida is to provide quality programs and services to educate, enrich and empower persons impacted by Parkinson Disease and related neurological conditions, as well as to increase the awareness and understanding in the communities in which they live.
