He spent six years in the industry, in both the public and private sectors. In 2016 he invented "The Dog Pouch," which aims to provide a carry-all solution for walking your dog. Five years later, after gaining much experience, exceptional management skills, and deep knowledge about the market and technology, he resurrected his invention and began researching extensively to bring the product and many other products to market. After one year of business building, making fruitful partnerships, meeting highly qualified people from all over the world to add value to the company, and testing his negotiation and leadership skills, he brought it to market and began with the execution of the foundation with the mission to be a global leader in bringing new, innovative, and sustainable products to market for others for free to innovate the world forward.
