Overview

I have ten years of experience in senior management positions in the development, consulting & training industries. I’m currently the Business Development and Projects Manager at AUB REP, the consulting arm of the university. My work involves dealing with Ministers, Government officials, Universities, NGOs, Boards of Corporations and heads of Private Sector Companies. Having accumulated a myriad of experience in the corporate, academic and nonprofit sectors (NGOs), I’m a sought-after expert in advisory, consulting and training, especially in the fields of NGO Management, Project Management and Business Analysis as I have been delivering courses in these subjects for AUB CEC and PwC Academy for years. Moreover, I have trained and mentored more than 2,000 participants in 6 different countries on soft skills and business acumen. In parallel, I’m very involved in the community as I have organized, trained and spoke in many events with Aie Serve, PMI, UNESCO, Rotary, World Economic Forum, WAAAUB, TedEx, Global Shapers and John Smith Trust. Recently, I launched and co-managed AUB’s NGO Initiative that works on the empowerment of the NGO sector regionally.
