Executive Profile
I am a multilingual US/Lebanese citizen with a strong fluency in English, Arabic, French, and Armenian, and professional experience in both the USA and Lebanon. I have been delivering seminars in the financial training and services industry (live and remote) for many years on Management and Financial Accounting, Financial Statement Analysis, Financial Management, Auditing, Uniform Guidance, and CPA Exam Prep. Internationally experienced, I am sensitive to cultural and institutional impediments to knowledge sharing and teamwork, and work to overcome them.
Over the course of 19+ years in public accounting (including 9 years in the USA), I have been a champion of maintaining and building key relations, teamwork, and knowledge sharing with both commercial and not-for-profit companies. I led the ‘Train the Trainers' programs at Pateel Beirut; I have been involved in rendering consulting services on capacity assessment, on compliance with grant agreements, and on business development services.

- Pioneered the implementation of the Certified Nonprofit Accounting Professional (CNAP) US certification program in the Middle East

- Represented the US Foundation Center Proposal Writing Boot Camp at the American University of Beirut
- Facilitated compliance with U.S. Federal Grant regulations for a private organisation in Istanbul
