Welcome to Making It Happen I’ll be your host Tom Dalton
We are episode number 52 with Emad Yacoub
Emad Yacoub CEOof Glowbal Restaurant Group
Few people speak of the Canadian dream, but Emad Yacoub is proof it exists. When the 19-year-old university-
trained accountant moved to Canada from Egypt in 1984, he didn’t speak a word of English.
Today, the energetic entrepreneur is co-founder, president and CEO of Vancouver’s Glowbal Restaurant Group,
overseeing the daily operations of 11 successful restaurants.
The group of restaurants include: Glowbal, Coast, Italian Kitchen, Trattoria (Kitsilano, Park Royal and Burnaby),
Black + Blue, The Roof, Five Sails, and Riley's. Black+Blue Toronto coming soon!
