We had our kick-off meeting last Saturday at
the IBM Morocco office in Casablanca ,
which was a stone throw away from our hotel.
I would say that the kick off meeting went quite well. We were able to meet some of the IBM leaders
such as IBM Morocco’s Country General Manager, Abdallah Rachidi Alaoui; HR
Country Leader Najlaa Hachami; Innovation Center & Technical Exploration
Center Program Manager Asmae Chaarani; and Business Development Manager Ali
Aqallal to name a few. Being able to meet these high ranking officials made me
realize that what we’re doing is really of importance to IBM. I do hope that we’ll be able to achieve
everything that we were asked to do so that everyone’s happy. :-) And oh, we were served some sweet pastries
and of course, the much awaited “Moroccan mint tea.” Loved it!!! It was an instant hit to the
whole team, especially to Jailan Adly (CDC Program Manager) who had named the
drink as the “Moroccan Red Bull”
