Community/Lebanon Impact
My journey as a female entrepreneur started in 1999. My passion, as a female entrepreneur, drives my focus to mentor and support Lebanese female entrepreneurs to start their own business, so that they are more empowered and supported to grow their businesses and be active in the creation of jobs in Lebanon.
During the past 20 years, I have been involved in helping to grow the Lebanese Entrepreneurship Eco-System through my involvement with various organizations such as, LLWB, MIT Enterprise Forum - Pan Arab and LWAF (Lebanese Women’s Angel Fund).
