Fady speaks four languages fluently, and enjoys international travel and global multi-cultural engagements. His favorite retreat spot is somewhere along the Aegean sea on the Mediterranean.

“My favorite social media activity is a Keyif with college friends in Istanbul, a reunion at a Café in Paris, a Mezze gathering with high school friends in the mountains of Lebanon, or a Lavazza moment with colleagues in Chicago. No time on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn can replace such precious living experience moments.”
