About me

Mahmoud’s hustle culture and luggage are filled with experiences that helped him shape not only his cosmopolitan personality from a young age, but also a passionate interest in constructive community dialogues, the’ making’ culture, passion-economy transformation, and global sustainability issues. He dropped out of college to do a logistics diploma.

During his center years at the OFPPT (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 media brand for the next-gen community of supply chain professionals. At the beginning of his year, he started networking (attending 38+ events in 2019 alone), writing a blog, and building the community.

His passionate about:
– Consumer insights and trends,
– Futuristic logistics & supply chain innovations,
– Growth marketing and business development,
– Community-driven marketing.


He helps individuals discover their passions to build their passion-led projects and brands across industries build their community programs and produce good content to attract the modern consumer.
In his free time, he loves going to picnics, collecting artwork & crafts, exploring the Moroccan cities, making pizza, reading books, curating music playlists, and watching movies.
