the team

Be different, be daring, be anything that will translate your vision into success.

That’s how I grew my first business 26 years ago into W Ventures, a holding operating in a wide variety of industries.

I have always sought entrepreneurial ideas to drive positive change in the world, connecting people with their favorite brands, and marketers with their customers.

Our growth would not have been possible without the support of our strategic partners who believe in our vision, and the immense power of our team, whose hard work, talents and dedication have built the company’s reputation as “Creators of Impact,” and positioned Hypermedia as the experiential modern digital Out-of-Home industry in the UAE since 1999.
