The original post
After almost two years at Chatbase, it’s time to say goodbye. These two years have been absolutely amazing. I’ve grown, learned, and done more than I could fit into one post. First, Yasser Elsaid. He is one of the best founders I’ve ever worked with. He taught me so much, trusted me with so much, and gave me the space to do some of the work I’m most proud of. He built Chatbase as a solo founder and grew it into an incredible product used by customers around the world. But what impressed me most was always his vision. When you work under his leadership, you trust that he sees where things are going. Then there’s the team. A year ago, hana taha and I were the only people in marketing. Today, there is an incredible growth team led by Humphrey Su, with Clint Kruger, Zeyad Genena, PJ Singh, Lamees Sanad, Sia Karpenko, Salma Ibrahim, people who truly know their stuff. There are also some of the best engineers I’ve ever worked with, led by Khaled ElSaeed. We flew around the world, met customers, heard their stories, and saw first-hand what they were building with Chatbase. Those moments made the work feel real, and they are some of the memories I’ll always carry with me. Proudly calling myself ex-Chatbase now. As for what’s next for me, more on the new adventure very soon.
