Client overview:

The client's business represents a large group of companies in Saudi Arabia:

• They manage the biggest malls in Saudi Arabia (so they have huge offline traffic) — that's unique

• They've been the biggest franchise of well-known brands (Zara, H&M, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Decathlon, Apple, etc.) for the last 25 years.

• They can onboard all of these brands with a full assortment — which is a unique capability of this company

The company is doubling down on digital channels and transforming itself from pure offline (Shopping Malls and Retailers) to an advanced digital platform that leverages offline capabilities.

Mixed and diverse team: Eastern Europeans, Western Europeans, Indians, Arabs. All product development processes are pretty advanced, and overall it feels like an advanced fast-moving international startup rather than a low-tech local company.

Brilliant founding team: has a great team with a proven track record and experience in marketplaces (Lamoda, Lazada, Careem, Instacart).
