Giving back
Rise to Peace
I started Rise to Peace as a way to give something back. It brings people together around research, education, dialogue and practical work for peace.
Visit Rise to Peace →Hi, I'm Ahmad Shah Mohibi.
I build relationships, bring people together and help solve problems.
I enjoy building things, meeting good people and figuring things out.
My work has taken me through public service, international affairs, media, nonprofits, business and technology.

A little about me
I care about people, ideas and how things work.
I started working around international teams when I was young. Different countries, cultures and institutions taught me something simple: people matter.
I like making introductions, building trust, asking questions and helping something move when it gets stuck. I also enjoy new technology, especially when it makes work simpler and more useful.

Why WarGuy?
It is the name I gave the story.
WarGuy is not a celebration of war. It is simply a way of telling the story of where I came from, what I have seen, and why peace and building matter to me.
