A NOTE ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST
The best things
start with a little
“what if?”
I’m Joe. I connect the dots between
people, ideas, and getting things done.
I’m Joe Habibi Hakim, Head of Operations at Fig. My work has taken me from finance to partnerships and product marketing, and now to founding operations.
Outside of work, you’ll find a different kind of exploration: a climb up Hawk Hill, a food map with too many pins, or the next game to get lost in.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PANELS
ALWAYS CURIOUS
