Bio
Tilda Rose
Sidi is highly dependable, ambitious, hard-working and supportive. During our time together he continued to trust and empower me in my decisions and encouraged me to thrive. Sidi doesn't manage teams, he leads them with vision, encouragement and confidence. Sidi's passion shines through everything he does, he gives his heart and pairs this with knowledge and action to build stable foundations and excel with future thinking plans. A great person to have on one's team.
Christos Kritikos 🚀
I worked with Sidi in a number of entrepreneurship initiatives where he was a Program Manager (and I was a mentor/EIR). His deep experience in program management, lean startup methodologies, and the startup space in general, made him a great asset. Man of many hats, he managed stakeholders, assisted with program design, ran operations and overall made sure that us mentors could focus on creating value for the startups. His soft-spoken empathetic style make him a catalyst for communication and a pleasure to work with. If I was an organization interested in promoting entrepreneurship, I would want Sidi on my team! 💯
