HOW IT ALL STARTED
Cyril spent ten years working on software
solutions for France's real estate sector,
culminating in the acquisition of his
company, Pericles. In 2006, Cyril returned
to Lebanon to establish Keeward with the
mission to foster a local digital ecosystem.
Leveraging Keeward's proprietary
technology, he partnered with Sany Naufal
and Levant Distributors to create Bookwitty,
an online book distribution platform with
over 6M customers in 149 countries.
