Hey there, I’m Nahed!

Since 2011, I have helped more than 150 companies in the US, Europe, Middle East, and Africa grow from 7-figure to 9-figure businesses by supercharging their people practices.

These companies ranged in size from 50 to 60,000 employees and revenues from a couple of million dollars to more than $20 billion.

Startups that are at the 7-figure revenue mark have proven that they have a viable market offering, yet 50% of them fail within the first 5 years!

From my experience with startups, poor business decisions and people practices are at the core of these failures. My goal is to help every startup founder and leader get HR right the first time, to make HR a growth accelerator.
