Profile
The founder of EBM-Corp is Wael Salama, an 18-year veteran of the IT industry, with a long history in international business development and IT implementation on numerous scales. Wael began his meteoric rise as the third member in the startup InterCAD Systems of Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, spearheading the sales and marketing department with dramatic results. It was not long before Wael’s efforts brought the company to its current international state.
During his time with InterCAD Systems, Wael was instrumental in developing and growing the company. Beginning from a small startup company, InterCAD rapidly rose to be a multimillion-dollar international company. In addition, Weal developed and implemented marketing and segmentation strategies for numerous top companies in Saudi Arabia, including AutoDesk, MicroStation, InFocus and many others. Due to his foresight, technical expertise and commitment to excellence, each company benefited greatly, realizing their current position in the global economy.
After his time in Saudi Arabia, Wael spent seven years with IBM Corp, leading a high-growth CATIA and PLM sales team with fantastic results and a 100% club record of accomplishment. His time at IBM Corp was the determining factor in the birth of EBM-Corp. It was due to the local businesses centered on his home base that Wael realized the need for community development and promotion. EBM-Corp and its community sites, eCorners.com and ABcarz.com are the direct result of this inspiration and proof that the local community is still the dominant player in the economy.
Wael learned much in his time at IBM and during his time in Saudi Arabia; in fact, these experienced helped to shape his unique philosophy and personal mindset. It was these experiences that taught him the value of online development and promotion and it was his personal experiences while at IBM that showed him the best way to help promote and market local businesses. In addition, Wael has created numerous free community tools to help businesses market themselves to a greater extent, allowing them to benefit their community, promote their services and facilitate better understanding in the consumer-business relationship model.
During his professional life, Wael learned lessons that have led immediately to the values of EBM-Corp. Their commitment to teamwork, cultural diversity, open communication with all parties, respect for employees and clients, a dedication to continuous learning and improvement, timely responses and implementation and complete security are second to none in the industry. Each of the company’s values directly reflects Wael’s personal views on life and business, displaying his dedication to facilitating open, honest communication between client and business. With the obvious goal of developing a personal relationship with each client, Wael is a refreshing departure in a cynical business world.
On a personal note, Wael Salama finds time in his busy schedule to promote numerous charitable causes. Chief among these is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In fact, Wael has begun daily training to participate in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual 13.1-mile marathon. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the charity for research and development.
