Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Ricardo Karam meets Nehmeh Taouk, a man whose journey began in the modest surroundings of a simple village life among cows and sheep in Bsharri, northern Lebanon. From these humble origins, Taouk carved an extraordinary path.After early work at "Beit Al-Mustaqbal", a prominent Lebanese research center, he left Lebanon in 1988, driven by a relentless desire to learn and grow. In France, he developed his skills in distribution and technology, eventually founding Soft Solutions, which would later evolve into VALOORES in 1989. Today, VALOORES operates in 17 countries, but Taouk’s story remains deeply personal, a testament to determination, perseverance, and the belief that no background is too modest to dream big. His work, spanning fields like business intelligence and cybersecurity, has earned him international recognition, including a distinguished award in India in 2023 for his efforts in public advocacy and promoting dialogue and social cohesion.Join Ricardo Karam and Nehmeh Taouk as they explore the inspiring journey of a Lebanese villager who never lost sight of his roots while building a vision that crossed continents and industries.في هذه الحلقة، يلتقي ريكاردو كرام بنعمة طوق، الرجل الذي بدأت رحلته في كنف عائلة متواضعة في بلدة بشري شمال لبنان، بين الأبقار والأغنام. من هذا الواقع البسيط، شقّ طريقه نحو قصة نجاح فريدة.بعد عمله في مركز "بيت المستقبل"، أحد أبرز مراكز الأبحاث في لبنان، غادر طوق البلاد عام 1988 مدفوعاً بشغف التعلّم والطموح. في فرنسا، طوّر خبراته في مجالي التوزيع والتكنولوجيا، وأسّس لاحقاً شركة "سوفت سولوشنز" التي تحوّلت عام 1989 إلى "فالوريس".واليوم، تنتشر أعمال "فالوريس" في 17 دولة حول العالم، إلا أن قصة طوق تبقى شخصية بامتياز، تجسّد الإصرار والإيمان بأن البدايات المتواضعة لا تمنع من تحقيق الأحلام الكبيرة. وقد نال عام 2023 جائزة دولية مرموقة في الهند تقديراً لدوره في الدفاع عن القضايا العامة وتعزيز الحوار والتماسك الاجتماعي.انضموا إلى ريكاردو كرم ونعمة طوق لاكتشاف قصة اللبناني الذي حافظ على جذوره وقيمه، رغم نجاحه في بناء رؤية تخطّت الحدود والقارات.
