The year 2024 has been one of the most challenging in our journey as a company, yet one that we should celebrate and remain optimistic about. These challenges have given us a deeper and more profound meaning of the word ‘winning.’  

​

At the forefront of our efforts to overcome this year’s battles is our Managing Director, Mr. Samir Elbaba, whose resolve remained unshaken despite the storms and uncertainties. Having worked closely with him, I’ve witnessed firsthand his tireless efforts to hold everything together—never giving up, despite the overwhelming business climate in the country.

​

This year has tested us all, yet we have shown resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment. At QSS, the word ‘retreat’ does not exist in our vocabulary. Instead, we have turned adversity into an opportunity, developing a way to cultivate an environment where talent and skills are nurtured for personal and organizational growth.

It is in this spirit of resilience and forward-thinking that we proudly introduce the STAR Corporate University, a landmark initiative in our commitment to continuous learning and development.
