Hashem Alshakhas Email & Phone Number

Hashem Alshakhas is a Strategy & CEO Support Specialist at Zain Kuwait based in Al Asimah, Kuwait, Asia. As a strategy specialist with a background in mechanical engineering and finance, my career journey has been defined by a pursuit of innovation and strategic excellence. A proud alumnus of Penn State and UCL, my academic foundation in Engineering and Finance has been the bedrock of my professional ethos, enabling me to blend technical insights with financial acumen. Starting my career at PwC, I had the privilege of contributing to transformative projects across the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait. My role as a Strategy & Operations Consultant allowed me to develop corporate and sector strategies for high-profile clients, including ministries and leading companies. From supporting high-level committees to leading organizational restructuring for governments, my work has been focused on creating sustainable value and driving impactful change. The entrepreneurial spirit in me led to founding Looksie, a tech startup envisioned as the Etsy for the Middle East, aiming to connect designers and enthusiasts in a vibrant marketplace of unique and handcrafted goods. Despite the eventual closure of Looksie, this venture was a profound learning experience that enriched my strategic and operational insights, especially in the tech and e-commerce sectors. Currently, as a Strategy Specialist at Zain in Kuwait, I am leveraging my diverse experience to contribute to the company's strategic planning and execution.
