Founder & CEO

Hussein Tawfik

Hussein founded Greenstone Group with one very clear vision - to create value. After extensive years working in industry, he became fixed on making real change happen in businesses - having experienced first-hand the stagnated approach many small & large firms took to innovation.

Prior to forming Greenstone Group Hussein’s career has been spent working across the globe, from Dubai to New York in the fields of management consulting, strategy and investment. Over his career, as a specialist in turning around under-performing companies, he has advised the Boards of some of Canada and New Zealand’s leading companies across multiple industries to promote growth and stability.

Recently he has been working with emerging business leaders to guide their firms and help bridge the gap between small to medium-sized enterprises, and large-scale businesses. Over his career, Hussein has achieved over a billion dollars in value for his clients collectively.
