About

With a Post-University Diploma specializing in an M.B.A. in Agro-Management and a Diploma in Agricultural Engineering, complemented by significant participation in seminars and training sessions, I bring a wealth of expertise to my work. Fluent in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish, I leverage my multilingual skills to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders.

My professional journey is defined by exceptional organizational capabilities and a strategic approach to balancing intricate details with broader objectives. A skilled communicator, I excel in maintaining composure in high-pressure environments. I am known for my leadership, team-building expertise, and proficiency in decision-making and arbitration. My experience extends to fostering key collaborations with foreign embassies, trade delegations, and global import/export agencies.

A key strength in my career lies in my ability to navigate cultural dynamics globally. During my tenure with the Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture, I led the expansion of Lebanese fresh fruits and vegetables into markets across the EU, Eastern Europe, and the Gulf. Through strategic initiatives and cultivating strong client relationships, we garnered international recognition in markets including Kiev (Ukraine), Erbil (Iraq), Italy, France, and the Gulf countries.

Rooted in my Lebanese heritage, complemented by a French education and diverse international experience, I was selected for the prestigious International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, focusing on food safety and international trade.

I took a leading role in the MedDiet project in Lebanon, funded by the EU under the ENPI CBC MED Program. This initiative involved collaboration among six countries and 11 institutions/NGOs and left a significant impact on sustainable agriculture and cultural exchange. The project earned recognition from UN ESCWA, and I was later invited to contribute to the development of Arab GAP certification by a group of experts.

My career reflects a commitment to excellence, exemplified by a promotion following the successful completion of my first project. With a global network of colleagues and friends, I remain dedicated to driving impactful initiatives at the intersection of agriculture, trade, and international relations.
