As the CEO of Wave Life Holding, I bring a wealth of experience in strategic leadership and entrepreneurship, backed by a solid foundation in Computer Science and Engineering from UCLA. My career journey includes roles as a Software Engineer at Hadi Hospital and significant contributions to Global Maroc and Edge Vision.
Since joining Wave Life Holding in 2018, I've played a pivotal role, initially as a management consultant and Co-Head of Strategic Planning, eventually becoming the president in October 2019. My focus is on driving innovation and overseeing business operations. Notably, I led the company in making a significant offer to acquire Chelsea F.C, highlighting our commitment to ambitious ventures.
Being recognized in Forbes' "30 under 30" list in 2015 and acknowledged as a transformative leader in the global economy in March 2022 have been defining moments in my professional journey. My passion lies in leveraging technology, artificial intelligence, and strategic planning to revolutionize business processes and drive regional growth.
Outside of executive responsibilities, I contribute to non-profit organizations such as Cooper-Hewitt, the National Design Museum, the Louvre Museum, and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. This commitment aligns with my professional goal of creating positive social impact through strategic initiatives.
