Advisory

My career has crossed paths with a variety of social, private, public, and international sectors. For the past ten years, I have been taking part in developmental work and engaged with hundreds of early-stage startups and businesses, helping build community programs that target affected entrepreneurs. I have also worked with corporates and the public sector to help them make the most out of developing and implementing solutions.

Over the years, I have been bringing expertise in entrepreneurship and community building in conflict and fragile states, supporting vulnerable people's economic development and integration, building grassroots communities, in addition to promoting collaboration transformation.

I have also established relations with community-based sources that can help guide us to the information we are researching, whether in civil society, startups, or international organizations.

My research background and encouraging young people to take part in the future of their making have driven me on. I have traveled around more than 25 countries to listen to them, and the work I have done has a principal aim, promoting aspiring young people's potential. I have established a vast network across the world, including those that have been 'left behind' in typical research.

I presented objective evidence of the impact of entrepreneurship in the conflict zone and the refugee community. I published the first comprehensive studies about the topic. I put many years of my work with numerous Syrian founders to the public to spread knowledge and inspire a movement and actions to help those communities. My books and publications have received extensive media coverage and a great review from world bestseller authors, entrepreneurship institutes, and international organizers.
