"Ziad: As one moves through business and life you only meet just a few people who you know are destined to go further, higher and beyond known expectations and you my friend are definitely one of them. You contributed enormously throughout your career making the VC-life and motives more transparent and accessible to all of us. You showed true leadership virtue as an example for most of us here. I have known you know for quite some time now as you assisted many, taught and led us all to be a better person in life as well as in business, understanding the realities in the business life. You are a true strategically and tactical genius and I am grateful for your presence in my life!. Thanks Ziad! Great to have you as a true Friend"
