Bio
Walid Soueidi
Elie is always a pleasure to work with. He exhibits a very high level of professionalism, treats his colleagues as a valued partner and always brings creative solutions to the table. He is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and his energy for his work is contagious. I could always count on him to be honest, professional, and innovative.
Charbel Khoury
I had the chance to work with Elie on QNB which is a very fast-paced account. By that I mean that the team had to churn several briefs per week. Elie demonstrated a great sense of creativity and never hesitated to dig up insights to enrich the creative ideas. Elie also boasts great presentation skills that make him a valuable asset to his company.
