Hello Momar, could you please tell us a little bit about yourself and your background? what’s your story?
I’m born in Paris, France where I grew up. Growing up I was playing soccer and was really good at it, but my sister was playing basketball. So one day I went to a practice and I fell in love with it. I started playing and became really good at it. Couple years later people started to recognize my talent, and a lot of opportunities came. I had the opportunity to play for one of the best high schools in the United States “Wesley Christian”, playing in the states has always been a dream of mine so I didn’t hesitate when the opportunity presented itself.
After graduating I had a lot of options on playing college basketball but my goal was to play professionally so I decided to skip college and go pro.
I played my rookie season for Brno basket, but it wasn’t a really good experience for me, just after I went I argentina play in ´LaLiga for the club of bahia basket which was a wonderful experience, to play for Sepo Ginóbili and the owner Pepe Sanchez who are Big names in the basketball world was really a great experience and I had a great season while I was there. Right after I came back to play in Europe, but a lot of things happened, so I had to stop playing and end my basketball career at a really young age.
Not bad because just after I started the ‘Be Great Company’, started to invest in real estate, and also built some E-commerce ventures.
What inspired you to become an entrepreneur instead of choosing conventional corporate jobs?
Since I was little, I wanted to create and give back to others. I like to take risks, I feel like that’s how I’ve been raised.

Right after I ended my basketball career, I didn’t waste time. I build a team of ambitious guys, and that’s when the ‘Be Great Company’ has begun.
What gave you confidence to be doing business at a very young age?
I always had that confidence in me, since I was playing ball to now being an entrepreneur, I feel like nothing can stop me but me.

The way I approach things, my vision is different. The way that I invest in the ‘Be Great Company’, the energy that I have working with my talents or any other clients I feel like no one else does that.
