Mohannad Arbaji grew up in Jordan where he attended the Jubilee High School for Talented & Gifted Students on full scholarship. At 16 years he arrived in the US alone to pursue a full scholarship at
United World College USA, followed by a full ride at Brown University where he graduated with multiple degrees (Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Economics, and Business/COE). At Brown, Mo authored 4 academic textbooks; invented a device that converts solar, wind & mechanical energy into electricity for use by remote households; and was a recipient of the Karen T. Romer Research Award where he co-authored the EO100 (the first triple-bottom-line standard for oil & gas extraction,
currently implemented in several oil fields in the Americas.)
As the son of a teacher, ChalkTalk is Mohannad’s second education company—the first one he bootstrapped from $300 to a franchise in 3 countries while still in college. Prior to ChalkTalk, Mohannad worked in banking (PwC - Deals, and EY - Transaction Advisory), management consulting, technical consulting, and software engineering in the big data space.
