What does it take to turn a passion into a Michelin-starred success? 🌟
In the latest episode of The CEO Diaries Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chef Salam Dakkak, the visionary behind Bait Maryam, one of the region’s most celebrated restaurants. From a humble dream to leading a team of 120 employees—which she sees as 120 families—her journey in entrepreneurship and management is truly inspiring.
💡 We dived into:
✔️ How she transitioned from passion to business ownership.

✔️ The mutual expectations between a leader and their employees.
✔️ Why running a business is not just about success, but about responsibility.
Chef Salam’s story is a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and purpose—a
must-listen for anyone looking to grow as a leader. 🎙️
