Silvia Romeiro

I worked closely with Fawaz during the Islamic Solidarity Games, where he managed athlete flows and zone access control — and made it look easy. He's one of the most dedicated professionals I've worked with, the kind whose effort on the ground pushes everyone else to raise their game. Watching him coordinate across operational areas without missing a beat told me everything about the leader he's becoming. We were lucky to have him on the team, and I've no doubt he'll keep growing into bigger things.
