Early Foundations

I kicked off my career at Deloitte & Touche, fresh out of university, diving headfirst into the world of audits and finance. What started as crunching balance sheets quickly turned into managing a portfolio of clients from all over the map, retail, manufacturing, banking, insurance, brokerage, you name it. Each industry felt like a new crash course in how businesses really work.

Entrepreneurship

After spending five year at Deloitte Me and a friend of mine came up with the crazy idea of Kitchefy, what if we could turn underutilized restaurant kitchens into growth engines? What began as a wild thought quickly became real, $1M raised, expansion into 2 countries, hundreds of locations onboarded, and nearly half a million in revenue.Beyond the numbers, Kitchefy was my crash course in resilience, speed, and what it truly takes to build in MENA.
