Why are you a Premium Speaker? Where do you get your insights from?
I work as a bridge builder between East and West, and North and South.
I gather inputs and gain inspiration from the news, financial markets, social media, my strong global business network, TV interviews with top CEOs and policymakers, and my experience from working in different cultures and countries ranging from China to Yemen, Switzerland to Egypt.
I am a highly professional and incredibly enthusiastic media personality and thought leader who thinks outside the box and is willing to go far beyond what is required.
With my insight and knowledge of Middle Eastern and Chinese business and culture, in-depth reporting and cross-cultural communication skills, I help break stereotypes, shape the news agenda, and create more cultural understanding in our world today.
As a pioneer I can easily build relationships, engage in dialogue and cultural exchange, and develop collaborations in many different fields to create a real and sustainable impact.
What will be in the future? Does 'time' play an important role in your work?
Tick, tock. Time is money, and one of the most valuable resources in the world. Time is a crucial factor in our age of digital disruption. Therefore, it’s paramount to manage and tackle issues as quickly as possible in the news and media industry as well as in other sectors. However, I also believe in the Chinese proverb ”不怕慢，就怕站”, which translates into: it’s better to make slow progress than no progress at all.
There is no fate nor future but what we make for ourselves. I am a strong believer that new innovations, blockchain technologies and scientific research will make our world a better place.
