KHELFA CHAMELEON

Who is Sofiane Khelfa? Meet The Apprentice 2016 candidate – here’s what we know

He’s a survivor, he’s a chameleon and a ‘modern day Darwin’

SOFIANE Khelfa is not just a senior sales executive, he’s "simply the best."

The 32-year-old arrived in this country 13 years ago with no money and says that it’s his survival instinct that’s makes him stand out to Lord Sugar against the other Apprentice hopefuls.

“I compare myself a bit to Darwin as Darwin said it one day ‘the best survivors in this world I the people who adapt’,” says Sofiane.

“And I’m the best at adapting, I’m like a chameleon. I am simply the best.”

Sofiane lives in Essex and works in a high-end retail store where he negotiates technology deals with some major clients, and although he says he has great business relations, his friends say he can sometimes be overzealous.
