We’re thrilled to welcome Bassel Haidar to the LebNet DC leadership team! Bassel leads AI for the civilian sector at Booz Allen and is a seasoned tech executive who has spearheaded major AI initiatives across federal, state, and local governments. With deep expertise in AI, analytics, and software development, Bassel is widely recognized as a thought leader in the space, and we’re excited for the insights he’ll bring to our community.

We asked Bassel two questions to help you get to know him better:

Why did you choose to get involved with LebNet, and what does this community mean to you?

"Success means more when it’s shared. LebNet is a launchpad where Lebanese tech talent lifts one another higher, where “we” towers over “me.” I’m here to pay forward the mentorship that propelled me and ignite the next wave of innovators with our hard-won lessons."

What opportunities or trends in AI and technology are you most excited to share with the LebNet community?

"Every industry is being rewritten and reimagined with AI. Picture waking up to find your “digital co-workers” have shipped code, balanced the books, and mapped tomorrow’s marketing plan while you slept. I’m eager to swap blueprints for building, scaling, and governing these agents responsibly, and to ignite bold, brain-sparking conversations with the powerhouse talent of LebNet."

Please join us in welcoming Bassel to the team!
