A Legacy of Vision

Three Decades of Building, Financing & Elevating Companies

Dr. Emil Hakim is an American entrepreneur, executive and adviser with more than 30 years of experience in the formation, financing and development of early-stage and growth-stage businesses across technology, communications, entertainment, beauty, manufacturing, energy (oil, gas and refineries), commodities and real estate — spanning multiple industries and international markets.

He holds a Doctorate in Theology and is the Founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sierra International Network Inc. (SINI), a California corporation headquartered in Irvine that operates a business-development and direct-listing preparation platform for early-stage companies. In July 2026, SINI filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue a direct listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the reserved ticker symbol SINI.

Before founding Sierra, Dr. Hakim built and led JH Group Inc., a California-based diversified company operating in 15 countries across three continents. Its beauty division, Formawell Beauty, launched a globally distributed professional hair-tool collection in collaboration with supermodel Kendall Jenner — debuting at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes and reaching travel-retail markets across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Under JH Group, Dr. Hakim also built manufacturing operations in the supplement industry — including BeeZyme5, a pioneering bee-venom dietary supplement developed by the company's scientists and researchers — and the luxury skincare house behind the Besanté bee-venom face cream collection. His industrial footprint extends internationally through JH Industry in Egypt.

His leadership philosophy centers on integrity, innovation and inclusivity — championing business models that connect contribution with ownership, including the pioneering Follow Me For Equity (FMFE) program, through which independent contractors earn equity compensation for completed services rather than investing capital.

Visionary Entrepreneurship

A long-term global perspective — founding and scaling ventures across beauty, capital markets, commodities, education and technology.

Capital Markets Leadership

Guiding SINI from formation in 2024 through Form D funding to an SEC Form S-1 filing and proposed Nasdaq direct listing.

Shared Ownership Innovation

Creator of equity-for-services models — Follow Me For Equity and Stock in the Box — widening participation in value creation.

Global Reach

Operations and strategic offices spanning the United States, England, Dubai and Egypt, with initiatives in 20+ countries.

Mentorship & Philanthropy

An investor, author, mentor, speaker and philanthropist committed to entrepreneurial opportunity and economic development.

We believe enduring companies are built where disciplined execution, innovation and shared opportunity come together. Our objective is larger than reaching the public markets — we are working to support entrepreneurs, widen participation in value creation, and connect contribution with ownership.
Dr. Emil Hakim — Founder, Chairman, President & CEO, Sierra International Network Inc.
