  Co-Founder

  Jigsaw Ensemble, a limited liability company, is a local business converted into a limited liability company in 2015. The company provided various boutique digital services and was able to scale from 03 to a 40+ member team by the end of 2018. Multiple restructuring phases due to the economic repercussions of the political instabilities in 2018 and the Easter Attacks in 2019 made us run the operations as lean as possible and sustain us during the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the function is entirely virtual, with 30+ resources servicing local and foreign clientele ranging from start-ups to multi-national organisations delivering services in digital marketing, content creation and design and build projects for IT products.
