“A couple of other memories I have, are pretty much related to the Jameel family, actually.  To Mohammed Jameel, to Fady Jameel . . .  I’m quite impressed at how close they are, to the people, to the organization, to the business.  They don’t treat you as an employee, but as a human being and that’s something you don’t expect from a family owned business; you maybe expect the family to be, you know, like, people far away from the day-to-day of the business.  It’s totally the opposite.

Mohammed Jameel is a warm man.  He knows about everything that happens in the organization, he knows about the personal problems that everyone has in the organization.  I went through very tough times, a couple of years ago, personal times, with my wife who was sick.  And some of the, you know, when my wife passed away one of the first messages of condolences was from Mohammed Jameel.  So, this makes you feel important.  Makes you feel that you are part of something which is not only an organization but closer to a family.

The experience has been really exciting for all of us.  Has been very positive.  I do believe that we have developed the business, in a sense, that we probably could not have thought about without the support of the Jameel family.  And we feel really proud of what we’ve done together.

And we hope, of course, to do more in the future, right?”
