Why I’m Transitioning from Entrepreneurship to a Full-Time Strategic Role

A Shift in Focus

My journey in entrepreneurship and freelancing has been both dynamic and fulfilling, pushing me to innovate, adapt, and solve complex problems across various industries. From launching Lebanon’s first drone show company to developing practical tech products like Think Less, each venture has provided me with invaluable insights. However, as I reflect on the next phase of my career, I’m excited to focus my strategic skills on a single organization, driving long-term impact and sustainable growth.

The Entrepreneurial Journey: Diverse Experiences, Consistent Skills

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—founder, product innovator, data strategist, and consultant. While these roles have spanned different industries, they share a common thread: strategic problem-solving and a results-driven mindset. This diversity has shaped me into a well-rounded strategist who can:

  • Adapt Quickly: In rapidly changing environments, I’ve had to pivot strategies, learn new industries, and deliver meaningful results under pressure.

  • Solve Complex Problems: Whether it was overcoming GPS jamming in drone shows or designing a multifunctional laptop sleeve for urban workspaces, my focus has always been on finding innovative solutions to real challenges.

  • Work Across Teams: Despite the independent nature of entrepreneurship, many of my projects have required collaboration—whether managing drone teams, working with designers, or aligning with clients on user experience strategies.

Why Transition Now?

While I’ve thrived in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, I believe that the next stage of my career involves channeling this energy into a single organization. Here’s why:

1. Long-Term Impact

  • Entrepreneurship is often about short-term results, rapid iterations, and quick wins. I’m now eager to contribute to sustained, long-term impact within an organization. I want to drive strategy that not only solves immediate problems but also aligns with a company’s broader vision and growth trajectory.

2. Deep Focus

  • Working across various projects has been incredibly rewarding, but it has also left me craving the opportunity to dive deeper into a single mission. In a full-time role, I can focus on understanding the nuances of one industry, one set of clients, and one strategic vision—allowing me to contribute more meaningfully over time.

3. Collaboration & Team Building

  • One of the most fulfilling aspects of my entrepreneurial journey has been collaborating with diverse teams. I’ve learned that successful strategies are rarely solo endeavors—they require input, feedback, and alignment from different stakeholders. I’m excited to join a team where I can both contribute to and learn from a shared mission, building relationships and trust that drive collective success.

4. Organizational Growth & Learning

  • I’ve built and scaled initiatives from scratch, which has given me a unique perspective on growth. In a full-time role, I’m eager to apply this growth mindset to help an organization expand its strategic capabilities. I also look forward to learning from experienced colleagues, leveraging internal resources, and aligning with a structured approach to achieving long-term objectives.

What I Bring to a Full-Time Role

I understand that recruiters might see my entrepreneurial background as a sign of potential inconsistency or lack of focus. However, I believe that it’s precisely this background that makes me a strong fit for a strategic role:

  • Versatility: My ability to adapt across industries reflects my capacity to bring fresh perspectives and innovative strategies to any challenge.

  • Results-Oriented Mindset: Every project I’ve worked on has been results-driven, whether increasing user engagement by 15% at Innova Partners or successfully managing five drone shows within two months. I’m ready to bring this results-focused approach to a full-time role.

  • Commitment: The entrepreneurial path has taught me persistence and dedication. While I’ve explored different ventures, I’ve remained consistent in my pursuit of impactful solutions. I’m now committed to channeling that drive into a single, long-term strategic vision.

Looking Ahead: Excited for New Opportunities

Transitioning from entrepreneurship to a full-time strategic role is not just a career move; it’s a conscious choice to deepen my impact and align with a company’s mission over the long term. I’m excited about the prospect of contributing to a team’s success, learning from others, and driving meaningful change in an organization.

If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager seeking someone who brings both broad experience and focused strategic thinking, I’d love to connect and explore how we can create impact together.
