Mr. Athia has engaged diverse stakeholders, including governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, communities and the media, through leadership roles in corporate affairs departments at Fortune 500 companies during the past three decades. He is adept at building and leading teams that handle complex and intricate communications issues across regions and industries, with experience developing pragmatic systems to support C-suite leaders to make well-informed decisions that reduce risks and increase competitiveness. Mr. Athia has advised some of the world's leading brands, including an American multinational athletic and apparel brand, a multinational automobile strategic alliance and a European consumer electronics company.
