Fadi Ghandour – “After 30 extremely rewarding years”

Filed under: Life — Tags: , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 8:45 pm

Like many others, I saw this post on my Facebook feed… I had mixed emotions of happiness and sadness about it. It’s the natural flow of life, especially for one of the longest serving CEO’s of one of the most successful companies globally.
