Bassel AlHalabi has always been adamant about replicating success, whether it was inside the organizations he worked for or when he built his own businesses. This commitment has now turned to others, in terms of expansion strategy or internal digitalization. His dedication continued after establishing Trident Technology Services, prompting him to establish TecCentric with the purpose of encouraging organizational development and agility in Qatar. Bassel recognized the need for dependable technology providers to assist C-Suite executives in keeping up with an ever-changing market, and he combined the strength and expertise of a large ecosystem with the experience and local knowledge of an on-the-ground team to offer the best capabilities and service to the Qatari market.
