I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Ronaldo Mouchawar, the trailblazing Co-founder and CEO of-Souq.com, which was acquired by Amazon in 2017 for $580 million in cash + $200m in Amazon shares. Ronaldo, a true pioneer of e-commerce in the MENA region, founded Souq in 2005 as a spin-off from Maktoob, another regional success story that was sold to Yahoo for ~$170 million in 2009. In our conversation, Ronaldo shares captivating industry insights, recounts his personal journey, and reveals his passion for music. Now heading Amazon-s operations in MENA and Turkey, Ronaldo remains fervently optimistic about the future of e-commerce in the region. Don-t miss this fascinating and inspiring episode!
