Testimonials

Bilal will ask all the “œcommon sense” questions in a very humble way, believing and questioning those so you can dive real deep into your thoughts – and come out much stronger, with a clear understanding and vision. Some of our biggest mental blocks are what we call “common sense”.

Managing Director, Canex Aluminum

Bilal helped us get grounded when starting our company. He’s been a great friend and supporter since day one. Moreover Bilal is a connector! A maker by heart, Bilal creates connections and communities wherever he goes. I can’t recount a single country I’ve been to where Bilal didn’t put me in contact with the right people and made sure I felt welcomed. I am lucky to have Bilal in my life.
