Meet Yousef Hammoda: From Tech Lover to Marketing Maven
Welcome to my corner of the digital realm! I’m Yousef Hammoda, a seasoned marketing expert based in the vibrant city of Dubai, UAE. My life’s journey has been an exciting blend of technology, business ventures, and a passion for making a positive impact on people’s lives. Join me as I share snippets of my adventurous path, from early curiosity to present-day successes.
Tech Enthusiast Turned Digital Explorer
At an early age, I was captivated by the world of computers and technology. Eager to dive in, I learned computer programming languages such as Visual Basic, C++, and C#. As my thirst for dynamism grew, I delved into web development, mastering HTML, PHP, ASP, and ASP.NET. I even added a touch of flair with ActionScript animations during the heyday of Flash.
Seeking Knowledge, Embracing Challenges
My hunger for knowledge led me to pursue the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certificate, immersing myself in the intricacies of IT infrastructure. Equipped with a diverse skill set, I set my sights on the bustling city of Dubai in 2003, eager to embark on a new career chapter.
From Struggles to Shaping Success
Dubai’s allure pulled me in, but the road to success was far from a breeze. While I initially faced job shifts and freelancing endeavors, my unwavering determination kept me pushing forward. A pivotal moment arrived when I co-founded my first business venture, teaching me valuable lessons through challenges and financial setbacks.
Resilience: Forging Ahead
Resilience emerged as my greatest asset. Embracing the mantra that challenges build strength, I dusted off setbacks and established multiple successful ventures. Guiding diverse teams, we completed remarkable projects, marking my continuous ascent.
Dreaming Big: Crafting International Impact
An ardent dreamer, I envisioned creating an international business that would touch lives worldwide. This aspiration bore fruit in 2014 when I co-founded “Viral Talents,” a project that may not have monetized as anticipated but imparted invaluable insights.
A Trailblazing Venture: Talents List
Driven by passion and a newfound resolve, I embarked on the creation of “Talents List” in 2006, a talent booking platform. Although the journey posed its share of challenges, perseverance guided me toward a fruitful collaboration with an international events company, culminating in recognition as a top 100 Arab startup by the Arab Youth Center in 2019.
A Seat at the Table of Innovation
Fortune smiled upon me as I was called upon by the Prime Minister’s office in Dubai to join the Ministry of Possibilities’ Talent Development team. In this remarkable role, I stood alongside the likes of Google and LinkedIn, contributing my expertise and vision.
Sharing Knowledge, Spreading Impact
Turning a new page in 2023, I launched my YouTube channel, determined to share my wealth of insights in Arabic. Recognizing challenges in shipping from China to Amazon, my entrepreneurial spirit led to the birth of “FBEX,” my second online venture.
