Founding Story

Founder
No Poverty, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth.
I am an entrepreneur at heart and as far back I can remember, I have been launching businesses – from selling homemade cards around my local neighborhood at the age of 6 to launching Re:Coded. This year, I also launched a social innovation accelerator at New York University to help social entrepreneurs design and implement solutions to humanitarian and development issues using technology. Over the last six months, the accelerator has helped 13 passionate teams to develop projects from idea to implementation. Around the social entrepreneurs, we organized the relevant materials, mentors and coaching networks, training exercises, and practice sessions to develop effective and scalable initiatives. Our second intake is launching in partnership with UNDP Lebanon to help youth address various local social and economic problems.
I am working directly with the UN Development Program who provide donor guidance for the initiative. I also work closely with a team at New York University to provide, advise and mentorship and I have a team of external advisors/ mentors from various organizations such as Acumen for scaling strategies to McKinsey and Skadden who can provide strategic and legal advice.
