Meet Ziad Tariq.
As a young boy, Ziad helped his father’s optical business after class every day where he learned the ins and outs of the field. Shortly after graduating, he started working in a Dubai bank to sharpen his finance and customer service skills while simultaneously helping with his father’s optical business.

Fast forward to today, Ziad has become an ambitious serial entrepreneur. He's dabbled in multiple businesses in different fields like real estate, marketing and e-commerce.
