People, technology and business - the combination that best captures what Marv enjoys the most. He likes to combine trends in technology, psychology, startup experience and passion for talent management and development. Born in Baghdad, he survived two wars, experienced his father as a political prisoner, and lost part of his family and a roof over his head. At the age of 12, Marv moved to Europe, struggled with cultural and social challenges on the edge between childhood and puberty, especially in an effort to quickly adapt and understand the new mindset. To this day, this extreme situation helps him look at the world from different angles and believe that there is a huge opportunity behind every challenge.
