What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
Referred to 1833 from Shane Shin who’s already a member.
I currently serve as a Principal at Shorooq Partners, where I oversee our private equity division. My role entails identifying and selecting promising investment opportunities and collaborating closely with Founders to enhance their business growth. The forthcoming milestone in my professional journey is to become a Partner within the firm. Achieving this goal will require me to cultivate strong relationships with CEOs and investors alike, thereby expanding our private equity platform.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I'm eager to become a member of this club, a vibrant community where entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and investors with shared visions converge. I bring to the table not only my professional experience but also the rich tapestry of Syrian craftsmanship, as well as the broader cultural and historical heritage of the Levant. My aim is to enrich our collective understanding and appreciation of these traditions, fostering a deeper connection within our community while exploring innovative opportunities together.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
My days are filled with exploring the depths of music, from the soulful expressions of jazz and blues to the energetic beats of house music, and the raw energy of rock. I exploring mixing tracks that blend these styles in new and innovative ways.
In addition, Sports is another avenue for my creativity and energy. Whether it's the peaceful yet challenging practice of yoga, the thrill of wake surfing, riding the waves with grace and agility, or the endurance and freedom found in cycling through diverse landscapes, each sport is a way to push the boundaries of physical and mental discipline while appreciating the beauty of nature and human capability.
I dedicate a significant portion of my time to mentoring and advising entrepreneurs. The creative aspect of this would involve brainstorming sessions, strategy development, and finding innovative solutions to complex business challenges. Helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses is not only a technical aspect but also about fostering a creative mindset that drives innovation.
Being an avid traveler, I immerse myself in the cultures, landscapes, and stories of the places I visit. Traveling is a source of inspiration for my other creative interests, whether it's finding new music genres to explore, sports to try, or entrepreneurial ideas inspired by the diverse ways people live and do business around the world.
