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.
⎯
2011 - Co-founded bonavenue.com, selling designer clothing brands.
2015 - Opened Optoline Optics, which still stands today, selling eyewear and performing RTA eye tests.
2019 - Co-founded adasat.com.
2022 - And if that wasn’t enough, he has just opened up a gym in Dubai Marina - Sweat Dubai!
