The Beating Hearts of the Hive

Marleine Zahra, Founder and CEO

"Love what you do and enjoy your work, and it will be immensely rewarding."

Marleine is a leading female influencer in the regional business world. She began her career in the real estate development space, providing oversight and strategic planning in the interior design and F&B segments – a function she retains today as a highly-accomplished business leader in Dubai.

She is equally committed to her family, to which she remains dedicated despite the pressures of her career, and maintains a deeply-held love for fashion.

As a trend-watcher and -setter in her own right, the fashion business is very much engrained in her lifestyle and reflects her passion for all things exclusive, aesthetic and extraordinary.
