Middle Eastern, in San Francisco for a couple years by way of Poland, NYC, and DC. I work across a few early-stage ventures (pharma tech, robotics, a small specialty coffee brand). Trilingual in English and Arabic, some Hebrew, learning Spanish. Direct, curious, generous with time when someone interesting shows up at the door.
