At Green Mountain Invest, I led a transformative initiative implementing sustainable eco-friendly projects that piloted money and products circular economies across 7 villages in the Chouf district, Lebanon.

My focus is on disseminating BES’s extensive expertise and meticulous cultivation processes, highlighting the environmental, economic, and social benefits such as climate mitigation, job creation, economic growth & diversification, and improved community well-being.Combining engineering insight with sales, relationship-building, and executive management skills, I guide teams through complex challenges to drive positive change.
