Proggio’s Employee Spotlight: Siwar

Let’s get to know Proggio’s Marketing Specialist – Siwar Qasem

A little bit about Siwar:

I’ve just wrapped up my time at Reichman University, scoring a degree in Business Administration and Entrepreneurship along the way. As a kid, I was all about the sports—basketball, volleyball, and softball were my jams. After high school, I even had a stint playing pro softball in Germany. In high school, I participated in my school’s Model United Nations (MUN) conferences. Besides all that, I’ve got a soft spot for puzzles and a bit of painting on the side, though I won’t be giving Picasso a run for his money any time soon. One thing I absolutely live for is trying out new things and pushing my limits. It keeps life interesting and me on my toes!
