Profil professionnel

Young Belgian-Moroccan professional, a cultural producer & project coordinator, with over 10 years of supply chain management, international experience spanning corporate, creative, and community sectors. I combine strong operational know-how with a deep commitment to cultural activism, managing logistics, budgets, and partnerships across both commercial and artistic environments. I’m an effective communicator and a natural relationship builder, with proven ability to lead teams and bring people together around shared goals. Award-winning founder of the Arab/SWANA podcast Corne de Gazelle, and co-creator of a popular queer Arab event Gazelle L'Hafla series in Brussels, known for its sold-out editions. I thrive at the intersection of grassroots creativity and structured project execution.
