I'm building Manara to untap human potential. We connect the top computer scientists in the Middle East & North Africa to world-class jobs, with a focus on women & Palestine.
Our referral-to-hire rate at Google is 71%. One Manara participant went from earning $16k/year to $100k/year in a matter of 4 months, working remotely from Palestine. Another would have taken a refugee boat to Europe if he hadn't discovered us; now he works for a great startup in Berlin.
I move mountains for things I believe in. Previously I bootstrapped the launch of Gaza's first startup accelerator in the midst of a war (literally) and managed talent at the largest talent marketplace in the world (Upwork).
