Episode 83: Nancy Aboushakra, Head of Messaging & Digital Sales at Bayobab

"Once you overcome one challenge, you know you can face the next one. That's when I stopped being afraid!" — Nancy Aboushakra, Head of Messaging & Digital Sales at Bayobab, in conversation with Anurag Aggarwal

From a ten-year-old girl in Lebanon who heard that engineering is for men…

to building messaging businesses from scratch across three companies…

to closing landmark deals with the world's biggest hyperscalers —

Nancy's journey is one of defiance, determination, and dazzling impact!

In this episode of Humans of Telecom, Nancy opens up about:

⚙️ How an internship at Monty Mobile turned into a full-time offer — because she took every task more seriously than anyone expected

📈 The accidental pivot from engineering to sales — and how she grew the wholesale business by 20-30% before anyone even gave her the title

🏆 Winning the Capacity Award for Best Innovative Deals with Hyperscalers — and what it felt like when all the hard work finally came together in one room

🎯 Breaking an arrow with her throat at the Millionaire Mind Intensive — because limits, as she discovered, only exist in the mind!

🏨 Seven years of living in serviced apartments in Dubai — because why not give Nancy the lifestyle she deserves?

📚 Why Surrounded by Idiots is the book that changed how she reads people — and how she applies it every single day at work

👠 The girl who could have gone into fashion — and still brings that same eye for excellence into everything she does

❤️ Her powerful LinkedIn voice — speaking up for women in STEM, salary equality, and the self-doubt that quietly holds so many back

💡 And her core belief — do good to people when no one is watching, don't hurt others to climb the ladder, and never judge what you don't fully understand!

From Beirut to Dubai, from engineering school to the boardroom —

Nancy is proof that when a young girl decides to break barriers, the industry had better pay attention!
