I’m a seasoned professional and a passionate entrepreneur, business developer, technologist and networker. I have more than 25 years of experience in various fields: general management, entrepreneurship, product & business development, strategic planning, business consulting, sales, marketing, fundraising, team leadership, negotiation, mobile apps, digital technologies, agile methodology, UX-UI, prototyping. I hold an MBA and I’m fluent in 3 languages (English, French & Arabic). I've created, developed and published a personal networking app (Referd) which finds the most trusted mutual contacts for members needing to get confidentially referred to each other, and raised funds twice after having been chosen by the UK Lebanon Tech Hub as one of the 45 most promising apps in the region.
