Inside This Episode I was always love how 'things just happen' and meeting Jenny was kind of like that. I met her to help someone else and quickly learnt about her career and what she did. Dubai is always on the forefront of business starting up in the region and here I was talking to Jenny who has carved a niche for herself as a 'Company Formation Specialist' in Abu Dhabi. I just knew she was someone I had to have an 'entrepreneurial journey story' interview with. Her background is Marketing /Communications and now she helps bridge the gap between company formation in Abu Dhabi and understanding business culture.
A people person at heart and a natural ability to spot a niche market and solve a problem she is working towards evolving her business into a 'one stop shop' for all things related to business start up 'onshore' not free zone in Abu Dhabi.
