Founder quotes
Pull quotes journalists can use.
“Most cross-border deals don't fail on price — they fail on translation, on trust, or on someone walking away from the table when the cultural distance feels too wide.”
— Mohammed Sharkawi, EMEA Commerce
“When you engage EMEA Commerce, you are working with me — not a junior account manager, not an offshored research team, not an AI assistant pretending to be me on WhatsApp.”
— Mohammed Sharkawi, EMEA Commerce
“Europe needs new sourcing corridors. MENA and Africa have a generation of producers ready for European-scale buyers but lacking the on-the-ground translation between their reality and the EU's.”
— Mohammed Sharkawi, EMEA Commerce
