The Story

From Computer Engineering to Digital Empowerment

My journey started in Kuwait, was shaped in Beirut, and has taken me across 22 countries. I graduated in Computer Engineering — but quickly discovered my true passion: building people, not just systems.

Since 2010, I've been training entrepreneurs, journalists, youth leaders, and government officials to lead confidently in a world accelerating faster than most can follow. I founded QUAD Digital Media in 2013 — delivering 950+ digital projects for organizations ranging from the United Nations to Riyad Bank.

My proudest achievement isn't a project milestone. It's the 13,000+ people I've trained — many in underserved communities — who now hold digital skills that transform their futures.

In 2018, I launched Baddawi Coworking Space, Northern Lebanon's entrepreneurship hub, incubating 3,000+ youth. In 2023, I opened The Academy Coffee Space in Tripoli — where espresso and ideas are brewed together.

I hold the UAE Golden Visa, have been a US Department of State Professional Fellow, and have appeared on Al Jazeera, BBC Radio, TRT Arabi, MTV Lebanon, and 20+ international platforms.

This is not just a career. It's a mission.
