No Title. No Limit.: The Other Side of Ambition
“I will speak. I will write. I will travel.”
That was my answer when everyone asked what I would do after I resigned as Chief Financial Officer. The reactions were priceless. The polite nods. The carefully disguised concern. One banker told me the market was saturated. I asked him one question. He went quiet.
On the evening of 4 December 2015, I cleared my desk at the investment bank where I had served as CFO for more than eleven years. Signed off the handover. Said my goodbyes. And that same night, I boarded a flight to Munich. No gap. No transition period. No sitting at home wondering what comes next. The last day of one life and the first night of another were the same day. That was not an accident. That was a decision.
What this book is about
This is not a self-help book. It is not a guide to quitting your job. It is the honest, unfiltered story of what happened when one person left the corner office and spent the next decade building a life from scratch. The good parts. The hard parts. The parts I did not expect.
From cleaning offices for 100 Bahraini dinars a month to sitting in the executive suite of a dual-listed investment bank. From $3.65 in my bank account to speaking at Googleplex. From the boardroom to Everest Base Camp.
Fourteen chapters. One decade. One question: Was it worth it?
