About
Fawzi Abou-Chahine is director of Chahine Communications.
Following my PhD in Chemistry and further research in energy technology, I pivoted towards raising funding for innovation. I spent the next decade working closely with individuals and businesses, to help them solve the personal and professional growth challenges they face, having experienced them myself. This is why I do what I do.
At the heart of my service is helping individuals and businesses communicate their ideas clearly and commercially, and helping individual innovators develop their confidence to land successful careers. I also regularly write articles on career development, you can find examples here.
