TESTIMONIALS
“I worked closely with Bashar for several years, as a business partner both in our consulting firm F.A.I. and in our Real Estate Development company based in Miami Beach. Bashar is a highly trained professional with great organizational and negotiating skills, and with sharp business acumen. Among other deals, together we purchased a distressed oceanfront property in the early 90s in the re-surging South Beach waterfront, and we re-positioned and sold it to develop the Shoreclub Hotel. In Italy we acted as consultants for developers, helping them to maximize their investments. Bashar intuition and dedication were key to the success of our customers' ventures. In addition, his integrity and honesty are second to none. He has business experience in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East/Gulf Area.”
Alessandro Ferretti
Principal, Wave Group Developments
“Bashar is a true professional. He is multi-skilled and multi-talented. He did an excellent job at IBS, a Nesma Group Company, establishing and developing state-of-the-art information systems programs that organized the construction and contracting tasks and achieved significant business process improvements. He successfully implemented these systems in the Jeddah Gate project, developed by Emaar Middle East. Bashar is an excellent strategic planner and has a vast amount of diversified experience in all fields of contracting, construction, real estate, and other related businesses. I have enjoyed working with Bashar and would be very glad to work with him again. He is an asset to any company he works with.”

During this time, Bashar has displayed outstanding leadership skills and a unique ability to identify and solve problems. In addition, he led the planning and implementation of the IBS organizational transformation initiative. Bashar strives for continuous improvement, and in support of this, he has designed new business improvement programs and redefined organizational structures and roles to optimize performance. He also implemented a company-wide management information system. His integrated business knowledge, experience in the construction business, and information systems have been valuable assets for our company.”
“Bashar was engaged with our company as an internal “Senior Business Management Consultant” from 2013 to 2016. He displayed excellent leadership skills and an extraordinary ability to identify, orchestrate, and solve problems during this period. He has led the strategic design and delivery of an innovative and integrated management and control system for the “Prophet Mosque Expansion” material process from design to construction execution. Bashar used a collaborative transformation approach in identifying and defining the strategies and planning the solution within the organization’s boundaries. In addition, he adopted a practical method to deal with delivery management combining external and internal resources to develop the operational and organizational structures with particular attention to an efficient process landscape, minimized interfaces, and short decision paths. His integrated business knowledge, experience in the construction business, and information systems management has been a valuable asset that can undoubtedly be of great value to any company utilizing his services.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bashar as the President of The Italian Business Group (IBG). He is a true reflection of an adept entrepreneur. He has built this non-for-profit business association out of his own professional time and passion and continues to manage it in the utmost professional manner. Thanks to his efforts, IBG became recognized as the benchmark for business associations between diplomats and international embassies in Jeddah in a short time. He is an analytical personality with a relentless drive for excellence. I have learned very much from him as a boss and a mentor.”
