"Ghayeb brings a rare combination of creative and strategic skills to everything he does. His entrepreneurial mindset enables him to develop new and improved approaches to creating art while also understanding how art integrates into business, media, and technology. He is truly a Renaissance man for the modern age."

—Neville Vakharia, Dean, Pennoni Honors College, Drexel University
"Beyond his musicianship, he shared his gifts in dance, guitar performance, music composition, video production, writing, and marketing. These skills were not offered in isolation; rather, Ghayeb seamlessly integrated them into the Ensemble’s creative and promotional efforts, helping us expand our artistic reach and strengthen our connection with audiences."

—Mark Beecher, President of the National Association of Rudimental Drummers, and a voting member of the GRAMMY
"Ghayeb was an individual that dared to dream and achieve beyond the status quo. I assigned him tasks that went beyond his job description because he is a terrific speaker who is capable of bringing everyone together in a magical and inspiring way. Besides the social skills, he is strong technically and analytically, and takes full ownership before, during, and after projects are delivered to perfection."

—Ahmed AlAlawi, Vice President, Treasury & Corporate Finance, Investcorp
