🇬🇧 What titles don’t say: Build. Lead. Doubt. Start again. We dive into the real journey behind entrepreneurship and leadership — the bold moves, the quiet doubts, the loneliness, the hard pivots. No filters, no façades. Just what it really takes to lead. Because being a CEO isn’t a title — it’s a journey. 🇫🇷 Ce que les titres ne disent pas: Entreprendre. Diriger. Douter. Recommencer. Ici, on parle sans masque du chemin vers l'entreprenariat: les choix, les erreurs, la solitude du leadership, les virages inattendus. Parce qu’être CEO, ce n’est pas un statut : c’est une trajectoire.

He’s penned six powerful novels and now leads digital transformation and empowerment initiatives across continents.We dive into:- How his upbringing shaped his worldview and leadership style.- Why he uses storytelling to humanize crisis and conflict.- His vision for the Women’s Humanitarian Organization, and how AI and digital marketing are part of that mission.- His recent move to Paris and what this experience brought him.- The balance between writing novels, doing business, and staying grounded.- We also touch on lighter moments — from caffeine-fueled deadlines to airplane writing and the quirks of creative leadership.See all his books here: https://chakerkhazaal.com/BooksInstagram: @chakerkhazaalInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindtheceopodcast/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/behindtheceopodcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6M0aIo9zIHFSHgKB8UJpJ4?si=2e9298afd578419f
