Episode 04:
What does it take to build a career in these modern times? In this episode of Off Record Network, Fawzi Bazari sits down with Tamby Alasker — Electronics Engineer, business leader, and Managing Director of VYN Security. Starting his career at just 19, Tamby has spent over two decades moving through engineering, sales, business development and executive management across the region.
The conversation goes beyond the standard career advice. They discuss working in the Gulf, salary expectations, workplace culture, toxic workplaces, meritocracy, nationality and opportunity, generational differences, employee wellbeing, the 9-to-5, AI, and the future of work. Tamby also shares his perspective on the security and control-room industry — the mission-critical technology that keeps modern cities, businesses and infrastructure running. And, of course, things get personal.
