Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Habib Al Souleiman’s academic and professional journey is a testament to the power of continuous learning, resilience, and unwavering determination. His path to success has been marked by a series of meaningful achievements that reflect his passion for knowledge and his commitment to personal growth.

Habib started his career in education in 2005 when he joined IMI, a hospitality institute in Horw, Switzerland, that welcomed around 300 students each year. After working there as an Assistant Manager, he left in 2008 to take on a new role as Public Relations Manager at another hospitality school in Weggis in Switzerland. During his time there, he made significant contributions, eventually rising to the role of Vice President before leaving in 2011. This school welcomed about 150 students annually. His decision to leave Weggis was a strategic one, as he joined Benedict Schools in Zurich in 2011. Benedict Schools is one of the largest educational institutions in Switzerland, with an impressive annual enrollment of 18,000 students. Initially joining with a smaller title (Marketing Manager), he quickly grew within the organization, advancing to the position of Director of Sales and Marketing by 2014.

Since 2014, Habib has worked on numerous global projects, collaborating with organizations in Switzerland, Malta, Ukraine, Latvia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, and beyond. His vast experience across various international education systems has been a cornerstone of his career.

His academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree with Honors from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). From there, he pursued further education with a Level 7 Ofqual-regulated Diploma in Business Law, equivalent to postgraduate study. His thirst for knowledge led him to complete an MBA at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZFH), a well-respected institution in Switzerland. Not stopping there, he advanced his studies with a Level 8 Ofqual Diploma, a prestigious qualification at the doctoral level.

Habib’s dedication to learning took him next to TNU Kyiv, where he earned a Master of Law (MLaw), before completing a Doctorate in Education from Azteca University in Mexico. Along the way, he continued to push the boundaries of his education with multiple doctoral degrees, never allowing himself to settle for less than the best.

Throughout his journey, Habib was driven not just by traditional degrees but also by specialized learning. He sought out courses that would deepen his skills and enhance his expertise, earning certifications such as the Digital Forensic Investigator (CHFI®) and Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt™ (ICBB™). These certifications, along with others, reflect his dedication to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving world of business and technology.

His commitment to learning isn’t just limited to formal education—Habib also traveled the world to attend programs at world-renowned universities like Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge. This global exposure allowed him to study among some of the brightest minds in the world, further enriching his perspective on education and life.

Fluent in six languages, including German, Arabic, English, and Russian, Habib’s multilingualism has enabled him to connect with people from diverse cultures, adding yet another layer to his personal and professional growth.

Beyond his academic accolades, Habib has also made a significant impact in his field. He has published several books and received the Best Business Leader Award from distinguished organizations such as Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).

Habib’s story is more than just a record of degrees and certifications. It’s about a relentless pursuit of knowledge, a refusal to stop learning, and a deep commitment to making a difference in the world. His journey shows us that success isn’t defined by the name on your diploma, but by what you do with the knowledge you gain.
