CSR Interest & Background

I moved to Dubai in 2005. Having studied Architecture and Urban Planning in Italy, I quickly realized that the local ‘eco environment’ was lagging behind and it made me think on how to help raise awareness among the local community: curb pollution, conserve natural resources and reduce the impact on the environment. My passion for Sustainability led me to co-found Goumbook.com in 2009, creating the first online green information resource and green directory for the MENA Region. My commitment to the Environment blossomed into a sense of duty towards the community and today I try to be actively involved and engaged in the local green arena.
