01 / BEYOND THE TITLE

Businesses are built
by people.

I was born in Kuwait in 1981, grew up in Palestine, and now call Ottawa, Canada home. Each chapter has shaped how I see the world: through the people we meet, the places we carry with us, and the possibilities we create together.

My work brings together technology, entrepreneurship, and people. From co-founding Unit One Group to leading EGYTALHUB across Egypt, Canada, and the United States, I am driven by the belief that building a business can also open doors for others.

PALESTINE / A PERSONAL COMMITMENT

Rooted in Palestine.
Committed to possibility.

Palestine is where I grew up, and Gaza remains close to my heart. My connection to it shapes what I want my work to make possible: opportunities for young people to use their skills, support their families, and build a future with dignity.

Through EGYTALHUB, we bring together professionals in Gaza, Palestinians in Egypt, and Egyptian talent. I believe that connecting this talent with international markets can create a lasting path to income and independence.

Gaza needs aid to survive,
but it needs trade to thrive.

Humanitarian aid is essential for food, shelter, and care. Sustainable livelihoods also need jobs, clients, and the conditions that make work possible: equipped workspaces, reliable electricity, internet access, and the right tools.

I want to help build partnerships that turn those needs into opportunities—so young Palestinians can earn a living, provide for their families, and shape their own future.
