Another so-called “Consultant”? 
That person who advises and recommends but rarely guarantees results or gets involved in implementation!

I have a unique offer for you and your business!
I provide service as value and get involved in the implementation and provide hand-on support!
Isn't it a big risk for a consultant?

Let's flashback and let me tell my story to understand where I'm coming from.
I chose to pursue a B.A. in Psychology and took part in student activities where I learned a lot about teamwork, organizational behavior, politics, management, and process.

Then I studied Six Sigma, Business Analysis, HR, Business Administration, Instructional Design, Sales, Strategic Planning, and CS, I have a higher diploma in Quality Assurance and statistical control, and about to finish my MBA.

When I was 18 years old, I got my first job as a salesperson knocking on doors to sell low-quality electronic appliances, then I moved into Customer Service as a call center agent, but it didn't take long before I found a problem with newcomers training, developed a plan to improve training and knowledge, became responsible for staff technical training, and delivered my first training session for middle management when I was 20 years old!

The beginnings of 2011 in Egypt were very difficult for businesses; it was my chance to shine, accepting a challenge to establish a Workforce Planning Department, which required a lot of studying and huge efforts, but mission accomplished; not only that, but I also developed and led a Continuous Improvement unit, we were awarded the COPC® certificate, and I was given the title of "Organization's Savior."

Fast-forward to 2013, where I was the head of a special-purpose unit reporting to the CEO of a non-profit organization, responsible for reengineering policies, processes, and culture to boost effectiveness and shift performance as part of strategy transformation, then this unit was merged into HR department where I was in charge of Organizational Development and Capacity Building to finish what we started!

Then I was required to focus on Customers, remodel processes and operations to achieve customer success, and develop a customer-centric culture!

And then I came to the decision to change my career path to consulting, with a unique approach based on my learning and experience, where business management is a value maker, the customer is the ultimate goal, people are enablers and transponders, and the process is the medium.
