Donate now to the Account Spark FundBoth founders of Account Spark are first generation Arab Americans who hold education near and dear to their heart. Noor, the CEO of Account Spark was born in Kuwait, and while vacationing with his family in the United States, the Gulf War erupted. As a result, Noor and the Atari family started fresh in the land of opportunity. Noor, who now has more than 15 years experience managing and influencing innovation at technology companies, was a recipient of several scholarships, without which his educational journey would not have been possible. He is inspired by the generous contributions of donors who assisted him, and now aims to pay it forward and assist the next generation of Arab Americans.
“On behalf of the entire Account Spark Family we are honored to provide a scholarship to fellow Arab Americans. Together we can make an impact on young people pursuing careers in data science and analytics.” – Noor Atari and Areej Bazzari
