Nawaf is owner and Chairman of MBUZZ Group, the leading IT/telecom services company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that has to date successfully delivered over 400 major projects – including iconic installations such as Saudi Arabia’s ‘smartest building’, the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies & Research Center in Riyadh, and the Makkah Clock Tower – and is currently in the final phase of installing the entire mobile infrastructure at the new King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
Educated at King Fahad University in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and Leicester University in UK, Nawaf is a high-tech entrepreneur and investor, with more than 20 years of experience in the IT & telecom sector. He has collaborated and worked with multinational companies in the space – including BAE Systems, STC (Saudi Telecom), VIVA Kuwait & Bahrain – as well as envisioning numerous advanced technology businesses in the Middle East, Europe and North America.
Nawaf recognised early the rapidly developing relationship between technology and sport, and sponsored Sheffield United – now of the English Premier League – for their Wembley F.A.Cup semi-final back in 2014. This involvement was formalised soon after into MBUZZ𝘚𝘗𝘖𝘙𝘛 which has quickly developed into a freestanding sports media, marketing, management and investment business.
