Born on February 23, 1986, in Lebanon, Shady started writing at an early age. He often found comfort in expressing his inner thoughts through writing. He left Lebanon after school to take up a path of his own. Searching for life experiences, Shady has lived in five countries before turning thirty and travelled to another dozen. Shady holds a number of academic degrees and professional designations in the field of management. Since launching his career in 2009, Shady worked for the largest professional services' firms in the world. His fast career path in management consulting did not take away from his passion to write. 'Another I' is among his first publications in poetry that he is launching out of Montréal.
