"I know Ziad Abdelnour very well and have had the honor to work with him personally on a few projects in NY City years back; and I have the greatest admiration and respect for him and his team at Blackhawk Partners. A very professional and dedicated person. Ziad Abdelnour comes from a well known family in the Middle East. He is from one of the very few people in the world today who possesses the vision and the passion to make our Middle East a better place. He has taught me a lot in the corporate world of the US as well and is one of the few people in my life that I'm grateful to have known and worked with. God bless you my dear friend Ziad and God bless your family"
