On September 11, 2001 American Airlines Flight 11 took away the life of a dear friend and member of our Board of Advisors in its tragic voyage into History. On the plane with Mr. Theodoridis was his pregnant wife, Rahma Salie.
Nexus Global Partners lost a supportive contributor, a consummate professional and a dear friend. Micky and Rahma will be forever missed. During a memorial held on September 18, 2001 hundreds gathered to share the pain and celebrate their lives. With the same spirit, we respectfully leave on this page Mr. Theodoridis' original bio as it stood at the time of his senseless death.
An online memorial to the victims of Flight 11, created by friends, contains pictures and testimonials to the life of these two incredible individuals. Join them and us in celebrating Micky Theodoridis, Rahma Salie and their unborn child.
