Sherif graduated with an Anthropology Major and soon after moved to the UK where he started his professional career in the Computer Software industry. He was passionate about connecting the technology world with human potential. Back in those days it was just after the Dot-com bubble and the internet was starting to gain back momentum and computer literacy was growing steadily throughout the world.

Within a few years, an opportunity came along that he could not dismiss…

Sherif got the opportunity to move from London to Dubai in the UAE to establish and grow the consulting arm of his employer at the time. It was a big decision to make especially with a newborn baby only 4 months old. However, armed with the strong belief that we grow and progress when we are most challenged, Sherif traveled to Dubai with his small family and started a new journey. It was then when he recognized once again his passion for working with people. He built a business but more importantly, he established a work culture to help his team grow and be successful.

In his 10 years with the company in the Middle East, they were able to grow the revenue by an average of 65% year on year. More importantly, his team was known throughout the organization and with their customers as being innovative, reliable, and fun to work with. Sherif considers that to be one of his greatest achievements because he believes that a strong team culture will allow business to flourish and last with happy and fulfilled employees.
