I am the co-founder of SMEXBeirut along with my wife Jessica Dheere. I offer Arabic-language social media training to non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, and political party members and manage the organization’s operations. Most recently, I led the #stopthislaw campaign to postpone passage of an e-transactions law that threatened to compromise personal privacy on the Internet in Lebanon. I had previously worked as a fixer and translator for online and citizen journalists coming to cover the aftermath of the 2006 war in Lebanon. I have a master’s in business administration from Business & Computer University in Beirut. =====
