About

Meet an engineer who is passionate about helping people flourish! After 20 years of holding leadership positions in 6 countries (KSA, UAE, Thailand, Kuwait, Morocco and Algeria) I left corporate life to earn an MA in Positive Psychology. I enjoyed many outdoor adventures along the way. My key abilities? Spotting talent, enabling potential, and providing the professional and personal support and challenge for growth. My job is to take on major goals, and see them through to the finish. My passions are living life to the fullest as well as coaching, training and consulting. I'm extreme, and yet balanced. This is why I'm very good at helping people discover and explore what is special and powerful within themselves. Perhaps above all--this is possible because I care and I’m present . I bring myself 100% to the task at hand, and to the person who I'm working with directly. Here are my essential attributes: • Open minded • Focused • Productive • Efficient • Optimistic • Disciplined, • Experimental • Structured • Unusual • Extreme yet balanced • Spiritual. Past Roles: -Supply chain director roles (leading 500-1500 people) in factories, warehouses and distribution centers. Highlights: Enhancing career growth of many employees, improving product availability, reducing cost while improving safety; we enjoyed zero accidents over multiple years. - Country director role: I led the Unilever team in Algeria. This involved creating a new distribution system and sales force, automation of factory end lines, and developing and executing employees capability building programs. These changes increased our profit considerably as well as engagement. Education: - MA in Positive Psychology. (My focus was an in-depth analysis on employee, team and organisational resilience as well as employees well-being). - BSc in Chemical engineering Extracurricular Activities: • I am developing a working farm, which uses regenerative growing techniques. • I’m a yoga teacher. • I’m a permaculture basic designer.

An idea to develop a food forest got sparked few years ago and I've embarked on its journey with passion. Applying regenerative farming principles, growing my need of veggies , fruits and herbs. As well as having a small guest house to share that lifestyle and experience with the guests. It is located an hour from Marrakesh , close to the mountains where various activities can take place. It is for those who are looking for sometime to disconnect from the noise of everyday life, reconnect to themsleves and have a peaceful resting time in natire
