IN SHORT

Sustainability, biomimicry, boundless energy and a positive attitude are the ingredients of Tariq Al-Olaimy’s social entrepreneurship—complemented by natural curiosity and a passion for lifelong learning. “My greatest mentors have been bees, dolphins and fungi. I’ve learned more from a bee colony than from most humans. And I love to share those lessons,” he says. “My passion is to get human beings to see themselves in a different way.”
