About

Coming from a small Lebanese village, when I moved to the UK for studies, I had one dream: to change my family’s destiny. They borrowed money to support me. It was a leap of faith, they believed in me. I promised I’d make it count. After a decade in tech, writing code, leading teams, and chasing promotions. I became the youngest and most well-paid engineer in one too many rooms. But with that success came a deeper curse, isolation, burnout, and a growing sense that something was missing. Then life hit hard. I lost family members back home, faced depression, and went through a divorce that left me separated from my daughter. That pain cracked me open and forced me to ask: what’s all this success worth if it costs me the moments that truly matter? So I left corporate life. I moved to Spain to rebuild my life, to be present with my daughter, and to help other tech professionals avoid the same trap, chasing money while losing meaning. Today, I help tech leaders & international engineers turn their experience into leverage, to earn more, negotiate better, and lead with purpose. Because the truth is: You already have enough technical skill to make more money per screen hour. What you need now are leadership, negotiation, and self-mastery. That’s why we built The Executive Leap Roundtable, a private circle where tech founders and leaders learn to: ➝ Maximize earning power per screen hour ➝ Build equity and assets instead of chasing shiny objects ➝ Lead with influence, emotional intelligence, and clarity ➝ Negotiate like executives, not employees Tech leaders run the world, but too many end up broke, burned out, or undervalued. Your health, lifestyle, and wealth depend on mastering one thing: leverage. We’re teaching the next generation of global tech leaders how to lead with humanity, negotiate with power, and build freedom that lasts. Ready to take the leap?
