Mahdi Hussein — CEO

Mahdi Hussein grew up in the world of gas stations, watching his dad work long hours with tools that weren’t built for operators. He leaned into tech early—coding, robotics leadership in high school, and Computer Science at the University of Florida. After engineering at Gunner Technology, he returned to the family business, saw the same problems, and built Petro Outlet—a back-office tool that evolved into SuperSonic POS. Today, Mahdi blends deep technical expertise with a merchant’s perspective to lead product, engineering, and growth, giving independent retailers big-chain tech without the complexity or cost.

Mohammad “Mike” Hussein — Co-founder & Director of Product Strategy

Mike Hussein brings forty years of retail experience across grocery, convenience, supermarkets, gas stations, and hospitality. His journey included Planet Ozone, one of the first eco-friendly fuel and convenience concepts with a full restaurant and market. Beyond retail, he worked in private investigation and international trade, sharpening instincts around risk and compliance. At SuperSonic POS, he ensures features—from shrink control to faster checkouts—solve real operator challenges.

Yusif Hussein — Director of Risk

A Florida State University Computer Science graduate with a background in mathematics, statistics, and actuarial science, Yusif leads risk and underwriting for SuperSonic.
