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.”

Director GlobAll Advisory at Lithos SpA
“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, between 1992 and 1997. 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.”
