Hi, I’m Mahmoud Aitelkatab
Born and raised in Casablanca, then moved to Berrechid in 1999, where he currently lives (Morocco).
He’s a 30-year-old serial maker with an entrepreneurial spirit at the intersection of building brand communities (eCommerce), digital logistics, and growth marketing. He created a community-driven media brand (Espace Logistique), a niche marketing studio (Industry Labs Co.), a passion lab (AFTERWORK LAB) and an eCommerce brand (Areej Fragrance), and more..
About me
Mahmoud’s hustle culture and luggage are filled with failures and experiences that helped him shape not only his cosmopolitan personality from a young age, but also a passionate interest in constructive community perspectives, the ‘making culture’, passion-economy transformation, and global sustainability issues. He dropped out of college to do a logistics diploma.
During his center years (2015-2017), he came across both the digital logistics industry and the world of growth marketing, and from there he always tried to put the two fields together, trying to find new ways to cultivate his passions and invest in his creativity. In so doing, he created espacelogistique.com, a logistics-centric professional community for the next-gen (Gen Z) of supply chain people. In his early internships, he started networking (attending 38+ events in 2019 alone), writing a blog, and building the community.
He’s passionate about:
He helps individuals discover their passions to build their passion-led projects and helps brands across industries build their community from scratch through programs or grow their existing one.
In his free time, he discovers old civilizations, travel to new countries on his list, go to picnics, collecting artworks & crafts, exploring Moroccan cities, making pizza, reading books, curating music playlists, and watching movies.
My work
Prior to Espace Logistique and Areej Fragrance, his work included different roles from Centralized Load Control, to inventory logistics, to digital content and social media marketing roles.
