    I’m super excited about this episode. It’s very rare to come across someone who has excelled so much in the corporate world and at the same time has done so much for the community. Through knowing Moustafa I now realise that anything is possible with belief and sheer determination. I remember when he said, 'I'm going to build an Islamic museum' I naively thought, 'How is that even possible? You'd have to raise at least $2m'. Not only did he do that, he raised another $10m and built the first Islamic Museum in the Western world. We now have a waqf institution that will inshallah continue to educate people for generations. I personally owe so much to Moustafa and I certainly would not have had the opportunities I have had if it wasn’t for him and his family.

    Moustafa Fahour OAM is the current Chief Operating Officer of Plenary Middle East and is the founder of the Islamic Museum of Australia. Formerly the CEO and Managing Director of one of the leading diversified international contractors in the Middle East, based in Dubai. He has over 22 years of experience in the banking industry, construction, management and has held senior roles with CIMIC Group, Macquarie Bank, National Australia Bank, UBS and Citigroup. In addition to that, Moustafa Chaired the redevelopment of the Umar Ibn al-Khattab Masjid in Preston, VIC.

    He was recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) by the Australian Government in 2015, was selected as one of The World's Most Influential Young Arabs under the age of 40, by Arabian Business and the distinguished Alumni Award by La Trobe University in 2016.
