Waseem Sayegh

The following is the video of Toufic Gebran from i-Tech, an Arabic technology program from the Washington DC based satellite channel AlHurra TV, reviewing Shawshara.com.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Waseem Sayegh (sometimes spelled Wasim AlSayegh). I am an associate at Morgan Stanley and a part-time McGill MBA student. My interest vary widely and include technology, marketing, music, photography, drawing and travel.

This blog is a complication of my MBA work along with several other random things about me. I’d really like to hear from you, so please feel free to drop me an email at waseem(at)sayegh.com.

The state of Qatar has been eying a stake in either Porsche or VW, and the emirate of Abu Dhabi has recently bought a stake in another automaker, Daimler. Both Qatar and Abu Dhabi are oil rich. With this in mind, one has to ask himself these questions:

1. Are oil rich Arab countries vertically integrating?
2. Will these acquired automakers be forced to make less fuel efficient cars?
3. Are these acquisitions purely targeting “luxury” brands?

I was part of Morgan Stanley‘s volunteer team that gathered on June 6th, 2009 at the Maisonneuve Park to participate in the site take-down following the “Relay for Life”, an event organized by the Canadian Cancer Association. Here are a couple of photos that were taken during the event.

Google’s Street View car has arrived in Montreal! While biking down Avenue De l’Hotel-de-Ville in the Plateau-Mont Royal area I spotted an Ontario license plate car that had the now infamous 360° Google camera mounted on top of it. The car also had a Dell PC monitor in the front passenger seat. I took a photo of the car, which I’m including in this post.
