Finance at AUB. Working across investment banking, art, and youth-led ventures, with a long-term focus on MENA private equity.
I share my name with my uncle, the journalist Samir Kassir, whose work and legacy I carry.
Between internships after completing EY Beirut's CO-OP audit program on July 3. I join Bank Audi as an Investment Banking Summer Analyst on July 20, through August 14, before returning to AUB. Alongside that work, I am building EcoCitizens and COMPASS, advising the Maroun Chaccour Gallery, and developing Stat Arena.

More writing on LinkedIn
I'm a finance student at AUB, ranked at the top of my class, with one foot in the technical world of private equity and the other in art, history, and the quieter conversations that move people.
I grew up in Beirut and studied at the Grand Lycée Franco-Libanais. I read in French, work in English, and live in Arabic. I carry a Lebanese passport and a Brazilian one.
I've spent the last few years building EcoCitizens, coaching younger students through Phoenix Institute, working across audit and investment banking, and writing about how Lebanese businesses survive when the banks don't. Lately I've been advising a gallery in Achrafieh, working on a sports analytics venture, and thinking a lot about how art, technology, and capital intersect in this part of the world. I also created COMPASS, a practical career framework for Lebanese students choosing a university, country, and field of study.
I work at the intersection of finance, technology, and culture. Behind all of it is a larger purpose: I want what I build to help Lebanon stand stronger. I'm in Beirut, building.
