Nasser Beydoun with Jennifer Baum

Nasser M. Beydoun was the Executive Director of the American–Arab Chamber of Commerce in Dearborn, Michigan. Shortly after the 9/11 tragedy, they were looking for ways to work with the Arab world and Arab governments to build a better understanding between the Arab world and the United States. Qatar was one of the few Arab governments that took an active interest in the Arab-American community and provided support for such initiatives. Nasser found himself befriended by many Arab businessmen and, given his expertise in developing food franchises, he was eventually persuaded to move temporarily to Qatar to help develop a restaurant holding company.
