Bio
Andrea Malizia
I had the pleasure to meet Ahmed in 2016, at the beginning of his experience at my University (University of Rome Tor Vergata) as a student of the first level CBRNe course: Since the beginning, I have understood that he was not a simple student. He immediately started to propose innovative ideas to improve the course and all the ideas were successful. In meantime he completed the First and Second Level Master courses, published a book and become an active part of the Directive Board of the CBRNe Master course and a great collaborator for all the University of Rome Tor Vergata. A story of competence, innovation, and success that is continuing today. The example that the good approach, the competences, and the idea are key to success.
Fabrizio Malaspina
I worked several times with Ahmed during Live Agent and HazMat courses, always admiring his skills and the capability to remain focused always even on the smaller details of his tasks. The knowledge he has about the CBRNe world is already impressive, but Ahmed never stops and is constantly updating it and searching for new sources of both knowledge and inspiration. Ahmed is really a unique man, truly professional, serious businessman, expert of the CBRNe world, perfect English speaker, and most important, really trustworthy and deeply honest. All his capabilities are well integrated with his peculiar ability to be able to follow several projects at the same time, also in multicultural environments and taking care at the same time of every needs of his customer. I look forward to work with him again, because it’s both a pleasure and a privilege to work with such an enthusiastic and capable colleague.

CBRN Master Board Member - Communication

Sep 2017 - Oct 2022
As an associate lecturer at Rome Tor Vergata University, I am honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and expertise with students in the CBRNe master's program. My lectures are focused on the critical topic of emergency communication, specifically the role of social media in emergency situations. I have a deep understanding of the various elements that are essential for effective communication during emergency scenarios. In my lectures, I delve into the technical aspects of social media communication and its integration into emergency planning. This includes discussing the various platforms and tools that can be utilized, as well as strategies for effectively disseminating information and managing crisis communication. Furthermore, I am well-versed in the importance of communication not only in the context of counterterrorism and national security but also in everyday interactions between individuals. I emphasize the importance of clear and concise communication, which is vital for ensuring that accurate information is disseminated in a timely manner, and that confusion and panic are minimized. Through my lectures, I aim to contribute to the development of well-rounded and well-informed decision-makers, who will be equipped to handle emergency communication effectively and efficiently. I have been fortunate to have 14 years of experience working in the field of emergency management and CBRNe security, and I bring this wealth of knowledge and expertise to my lectures. My goal is to provide students with the necessary tools and skills to navigate the complexities of emergency communication and to make a positive impact on society. Show less

As the founder of CBRN Academy, I am proud to have established a project that aims to aid and support public, private, and governmental organizations in predicting and responding to their future challenges, learning, and development requirements, and in the design and delivery of health, safety, security, defense, policing, emergency preparedness, and crisis management training courses. I have dedicated myself to this mission and have been fortunate enough to achieve several key accomplishments throughout my tenure. One such accomplishment was being honored by His Excellency, Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, the Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, for our timely initiative to provide innovative training for the Dubai Police Future Foresight and Decision-Making Department, as well as the Dubai Police Academy at the very start of the Corona’s outbreak. This recognition is a testament to the effectiveness of our training programs and the dedication of our team. In addition to this, I have also had the privilege of providing a comprehensive CBRN and HAZMAT introduction training to over 30 officers of the UAE Civil Defence, which further showcases our ability to deliver effective and impactful training programs. As a result of my experience and achievements, I have decided to merge my personal experience with Hotzone Solutions, with the goal of continuing to provide innovative and effective training programs and products that support first responders in preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from the full spectrum of CBRNE threats. While I am proud of my accomplishments, I also recognize that there is always room for growth and improvement. I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge and expertise in the field and humbly look forward to the opportunity to work alongside other experts in the field, to further enhance the capabilities of our training programs, and to ultimately make a positive impact in the communities we serve.
