Damascus

The Return

This is the return. The city I was forced to flee in 2011 is the city I came back to build in 2025. The journey closes a circle that almost no one of my generation has been able to close.

Damascus in 2025 — Youssef Sadaki's return to the city he was forced to flee in 2011, closing a fourteen-year crossing
Damascus, 2025 — the return, after fourteen years of exile.

Head of Marketing & Digital Transformation — Al-Boraq Telecom (Contract)

Contract engagement, not permanent staff · Official & Authorized Samsung Agent in Syria · Nov 2025 – Jun 2026 · 100% Remote

Engaged on a fixed-term contract as Head of Marketing & Digital Transformation for Al-Boraq Telecom (شركة البراق للاتصالات) — the official and authorized agent for Samsung in Syria — to lead a digital development mandate rather than serving as permanent staff. Directed a cross-functional team of software developers, designers, and marketers that grew from 17 to approximately 22, leading the engagement 100% remotely from his base in London, Ontario. A completed personal consulting engagement, not a YSADAKI client project.
