Summary
Ibrahim Zehhaf is a mission-driven technology leader and serial founder with 11 years of experience building privacy-first, high-scale digital products. As CEO and founder of MAWAQIT he has grown a non-profit ecosystem to over 5 million mobile users and 30,000+ mosques in 160+ countries, shipping apps, APIs, smart-display software and voice integrations while deliberately avoiding ads and user tracking. He brings hands-on engineering and architecture experience from roles at Orange and Virgin Mobile to lead cross-functional teams, CI/CD and DevOps practices, and product delivery at scale.
