The Story
Behind WILD Group
Built through over a decade of experience, trusted relationships, and real understanding of the region. What started as a women's leadership movement has evolved into something much bigger.
WILD Group. Enter. Lead. Scale.
After 13 years,
WILD Group
felt like the
natural next step.
"Relationships matter. Visibility matters. Leadership matters. Meaningful things take time to build."
After more than 13 years in the GCC, building communities, scaling ventures, curating opportunities, and working closely with founders, leaders, and organisations across the region, WILD Group felt like the natural next step.
Today, WILD Group supports founders, leaders, family offices, and organisations to Enter, Lead and Scale across the Middle East and Africa.
Bringing together strategic advisory, leadership, market entry, visibility, and a trusted ecosystem of partners across branding, PR, legal, finance, media, and strategic collaborations, WILD Group helps clients move faster, gain traction, and access the right support at the right time.
Built through lived experience, trusted relationships, and years of building across the region.
In 2018, with just $300 and a big vision, I launched WILD — Women in Leadership Deliver. I simply wanted to create the kind of community, conversations, and opportunities I wished had existed earlier in my own career.
What started as a passion project quickly grew into one of the region's recognised leadership communities, bringing together thousands of women through leadership programmes, executive coaching, workshops, events, and partnerships across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider GCC.
In 2022, WILD became the first external women's leadership network to launch in Saudi Arabia — something I remain incredibly proud of.
Along the way came opportunities I could never have imagined — speaking at the United Nations in Riyadh, moderating important conversations, supporting organisations, scaling ventures, and building trusted relationships across the region.
As relationships deepened and trust grew, founders, senior leaders, family offices, and organisations increasingly came to me for support beyond leadership — whether that was visibility, market entry, founder positioning, investor readiness, hiring, or simply having the right conversations with the right people.
WILD Group is the natural evolution of all of that.
