The journey of a member who leveraged YPO platform to fast-track and refine a new, previously untapped field which is disrupting the traditional supply chain process. Based out of the UAE, Fahmi Al Shawwa (YPO Dubai Downtown) started Immensa with a focus on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets, but quickly realized the massive opportunity of taking his Digital Inventory Solution globally. By leveraging his YPO relations and network he was able to expand his business in record time. Immensa is rapidly expanding in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, U.S.A, Canada, and servicing customers in Europe among other places.
A shift in mind-set and continuous education combined with self-development is what enabled Fahmi to establish his new businesses. Transitioning from being a CEO of conventional businesses in the food and retail spaces, to building a tech enabled platform leveraging Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) technology, is not doable without having to continue learning and developing new skillsets. Fahmi leveraged YPO in making that journey easier by building on the advice and guidance of peers and colleagues across the network. Today, Immensa, which was founded by a YPO member, is embarking on a path that is revolutionizing how many organizations operate.
Fahmi, takes some of his inspiration from Singularity University Professor Salim Ismail, �Exponential Organizations are built upon information technologies that take what was once physical in nature and dematerialize it into the digital, on-demand world� . This is what Immensa does � we eliminate the need for physical storage of spare parts by leveraging Digital Warehousing and decentralized manufacturing.
