With over 20 years of experience in the AV and ELV industries, I specialize in AV system design, installation, management, and integration across diverse sectors, including corporate, education, sports, healthcare, hospitality, and government. My career began in 2003 with the AV team at a 5-star hotel in Lebanon, where I developed a passion for AV systems. I hold certifications as a Project Management Professional (PMP) from PMI, as well as CTS-D and CTS-I from AVIXA, blending technical expertise with strong project leadership. I have extensive experience deploying technologies from leading manufacturers such as Crestron, Extron, Biamp, and many others, while managing vendors and ensuring seamless integration. Currently, I am part of BLINQ, a division of IMAR Trading and Contracting in Qatar, where I serve as the ELV Projects Manager, focusing on ELV systems and immersive AV solutions. I am committed to continuous learning, staying ahead of industry trends, and mentoring emerging professionals to elevate the AV field

"Teaching my skills and my knowledge, sharing my experience with other people, is an unmatchable feeling I don't want to miss again. And, however, to teach or instruct others in our field, you always find new questions and a new point of view. You should never stop learning!" I'm very involved in the AV/IT convergence, specialised in digital video and in IT networks. Since 2010 member of the CTS technical committee and also lecturer in private and governmental universities of applied science in Germany.

I lead the team at JacobsMassey providing Audio Visual recruitment & Digital Production services throughout the UK and Europe. We enable organisations and companies to call upon these services required for system integration, video conferencing, filming, editing, live streaming, virtual, hybrid and live event production.
