Reyzin Media
About this episode

Elsa Aoun is the co-founder and CEO of Ounousa. Marilyn got to sit down with Elsa in their country's capital: Beirut. Elsa shared with us a bunch of details of her personal journey from her days as one of the only girls in her Engineering class, to working in consulting and to starting her own company. Elsa's takes us through the early days of Ounousa, how she raised funds, and how she scaled her business. What's particularly amazing about Elsa's story is that from her college days until her CEO days, she has been working alongside her husband Wassim. They have what we call a Dual Career Relationship. We explore the dynamics of that relationship and take a deep dive into what a dual career relationship really is.
