Professional consultant Tarek Saadi is the founder and managing director of L Formation, which helps companies expand their operations into the GCC and KSA markets. Saadi graduated with a master’s degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University in 1990 and went on to complete a post-graduate chartered accounting program at McGill University. Building stronger teams is a key e
lement of Mr. Saadi’s consultancy work, and this is partly informed by the work of author Thomas Eriksson regarding personality types and how to create teams that work well together. In his book Surrounded by Idiots, Eriksson discusses a method of assessing the personalities of those we communicate with, based on four personality types. If we can identify an individual’s personality type, argues Eriksson, we can tailor how we can communicate with them and share information. Saadi’s approach to consultancy has also been influenced by neuroscientist David Eagleman’s book The Brain, which explores our individual perceptions of reality and identity – analyzing how we make decisions and the importance of social connections. Saadi enjoys a diverse range of hobbies and interests, including reading, skiing, and swimming. He loves to travel and has done so extensively; to date, he’s visited countries including the United States, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France, and Germany, along with regions in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. He also likes to fix things around the home.
