What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I'm on a strong career trajectory, gaining traction in my narrow field. I am at a stage where I deliver value and connect members of the development community. I have unlocked the next stage and am arriving there - I hold all the needed tools at my disposal and only require time (~6 months). From there, I will need confidence and headspace -- which I believe a community rallied around creativity can help with.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I want to be part of 1833 for two reasons - firstly I believe in the power of community, and secondly I believe that catered communities rallied around value are immensely more powerful. I've been blessed with being part of extraordinary communities - here in Dubai where I've been living for 15years & build a network of fantastic individuals, through my undergrad where I joined a fraternity and build lifelong ties with global network of individuals rallying around similar beliefs and in my MBA where I find endless admiration for the achievements of my peers. Dubai is however changing, my life is changing with a growing family and more senior professional positions -> 1833 is the answer to continuing this trend and developing my next community withing a deliberate, tightly knit community of remarkable people with different talents and convictions.
To that community I bring compassion, humor, business accument, strategic mind, mentorship and my time.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
Everyday creativity through my work - I enable change and impact in financial institutions around the region and that takes creativity at all levels; from stakeholder interactions to solutions I recommend.
In my personal life I channel my creativity through photography (my craft) as well as music and cinema where I admire other's craft.
