CARLA ALGHADDAF

Assistant Manager

Once Warren Buffet said Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago, and my contribution in this book will be my first tree, to provide financial shade for the coming generations.
As a Lebanese expatriate who spent 20 years of her life studying and working in the United Arab Emirates, I am proud to say that every stage in my life has contributed to develop the professional I am now, which leaves me responsible to contribute back for the community I am part of. My passion for finance has grew day by day, through my career in Insurance industry. Nevertheless, a big part of this is from the support of people who have nourished my abilities, developed my skills and most importantly believed in what I can deliver in life, today and in future. The Financial world is changing rapidly, technology is getting into all our aspects of life. The book has analyzed the effects, the challenges, and the development that technology has added to the financial industry. The beauty of the topics discussed in the book will be the modernity of its ideas discussing finance and technology. Financial freedom is one of the ultimate goals the new generation should consider, chapters about direct investment, indirect investment and diversification, have discussed in a modern way how starting young will protect the future. Investment is about growth, it can be obtained depending on the individual’s willingness and ability to achieve it. The book included chapters that will fit the needs of people from different social classes and financial capabilities. Later, it will be seen how technology has given new ways of investment and accesses to local and international markets.
