His estimated personal net worth exceeds US$1 billion.[2], with assetsspread across Canada, the United States of America, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Libya, and the Republic of Turkey. Early Life & EducationAyesh was born in Gaza to a well-known family from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majdal Al-Majdal]. He is the middle child among six siblings. His family moved to Kuwait, where he received his elementary, primary, and secondary education. Despite the region’s tense political environment in the late 1980s, Omar Ayesh focused on his education. He started his studies in industrial engineering in Turkey’s Bosphorous University [3] before moving to the UAE and transferring to Ajman University [4] in 1988 to study electronic engineering and business administration. Ayesh’s passion for trading started in the early stages of his life. When he was 17, he worked at a bookstore selling stationery. After one month, he noticed that a particular brand was more popular than others and suggested that they increase the brand’s SKUs to the store owner. The store’s owner refused, so Ayesh took the initiative to buy and sell these products during his vacation, enjoying significant success as a young entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship and Investments1991- 2003: Anadalus AutomotiveIraq invaded Kuwait in 1990; and because of the war, ships carrying cars to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were forced to unload their cargo at Dubai’s Jabal Ali Port pending the conflict’s outcome. Ayesh saw another opportunity. He started to strike deals with the cars’ owners and traders, allowing him to sell the inventory at significant profit. In 1991, Ayesh established Anadalus Automotive.[5] The company grew rapidly and paved the way for Ayesh to open seven more branches in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, and Canada. Ayesh expanded his automotive interests by establishing a separate maintenance center, a spare parts outlet, and a car rental operation. 2003 - 2008: Tameer Holding InvestmentsIn May 2002, the Ruler of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai Dubai] issued a decree that allowed foreigners free ownership of properties in different parts of Dubai.This marked the beginning of an unprecedented real-estate boom that lasted for nearly six years. Ayesh took note of the steady rise in real estate demand, so he returned to Dubai in October 2002. He formed Tameer Holding Investments, which became known as the fastest growing company in the Middle East. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_International_Bank Gulf International Bank] [6] valued Tameer at USD$5.2 billion by the end of 2007. Tameer developed several prominent projects, including the 101-story Princess Tower, which was registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest residential tower in the world During Ayesh’s tenure, Tameer’s portfolio increased, and the brand enjoyed strong brand recognition. The Gulf Marketing Review listed Tameer as third in regional brand value in its May 2007 issue. During Ayesh’s tenure at the helm, Tameer developed more than a dozen projects from individual towers to master developments. [8] However, in May 2008, Ayesh stepped down as the President of Tameer and established a new brand under his sole proprietorship. 2008 - present: Nobles HoldingIn August 2008, Ayesh formed Nobles Investment and Nobles Properties. He also developed a commercial complex in Dubai’s Mirdiff district, selling it soon thereafter. Al Shahd City[9], a residential and commercial district located near the Airport Street, south of Amman, is the company’s first large scale project in Jordan covering 230 thousand square meters. Internationally, Ayesh had adopted an investment rather than development strategy, purchasing and selling properties at profit in markets like the USA, the most recent transactions being the Bell Forge Square, a shopping plaza in Nashville, Tennessee. 2017 – present: Winfooz Technologies [10]In 2017, Omar Ayesh established Winfooz Technologies, a revolutionary online automotive trading platform, designed to overcome the commercial challenges the industry faces, particularly the pre-owned vehicle market. With a working capital of $7 million, the company has offices in Ireland, Jordan, Canada and the United States. In 2018, Winfooz was launched in Canada with three application functions: a) Marketplace: user-populated listings by industry professionals of used and new cars; b) Trucking & Shipping: a live database of transportation vehicles available to pick up and drop off seller and buyer inventory; c) Virtual Auction: a live bidding platform where traders and end-users access stock during limited-duration auctions. Vehicles are displayed at a certain time and for a predetermined period, the customer makes an offer which they can increase during the period specified for the listed units; and the inventory is sold to the highest bidder at the end of the period.

EducationNobles has provided 200 scholarships directly or through institutions such as Jordan’s Hayat Educational Fund. The support falls into three categories: [16] 1. University:The focus is given to outstanding low income students and orphans in the most relevant specializations to the market; [17]2. Vocational: The Vocational Education Program aims to raise standards of the local labor market with training in the latest technologies and techniques to address the needs of contemporary equipment, such as maintenance of computerized electrical appliances, modern cars such as hybrids, and smartphones and other specializations. Focus is given to poor or low-income individuals demonstrating a commitment to their education. 3. Elementary: Needy students with learning disabilities take courses in basic academic skills, programs to enhance learning through play, as well as mental health training. Small BusinessAyesh has expressed admiration for the Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, Muhammad Yunus, who received the Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering the concepts of microfinance and microcredit. Ayesh believes such programs are useful tools for socioeconomic development in underprivileged communities. Through Nobles Properties, Ayesh has funded numerous small business and entrepreneurial projects including taxi services, groceries and perfumeries. [18] Current disbursements are provided on an ad hoc basis; however, the company has expressed its intention to formalize the process by creating an incubatory instrument that includes consultation, feasibility development, planning and finance that disadvantaged entrepreneurs can access. Affordable HousingA portion of Nobles Properties’ real estate revenues is allocated to accommodation for poor families. The company works with local NGOs as well as semi-governmental institutions such and the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development [19] to identify qualified candidates and either renovate existing structures or purchases units for them. Healthcare for the UnderservedAyesh provides material support to medical care facilities. While President of Tameer, he donated equipment to Sharjah’s City for Human Services, and via Nobles Properties in 2017, the company equipped an emergency room and supported patient treatment at the King Hussein Cancer Center.King Hussein Cancer Center [20] Social AidDebt Relief: Nobles Properties launched a CSR initiative called the Debtor Program for Financial Relief to work with authorities and individuals unable to settle their loans or bills, particularly those facing incarceration. The program supports heads of household through training, debt rescheduling, and donations, facilitating their reintegration into the workforce. Refugees: Nobles contributes to programs that aid displaced persons, donating financial support, material goods, and manpower in the distribution of food, clothing, and gift packages. Sanahya Keram [21], meaning “We Will Live with Honor,” is one of the non-governmental organizations in Jordan that the group has partnered with. Weddings: Ayesh has facilitated the marriage of couples unable to afford the associated costs. He was a sponsor of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s collective “Wedding of Hope” initiative in Dubai; and he established the Marriage Expense Youth Support Program in Amman, which has sponsored dozens of ceremonies since its inception in 2015. [22]Global Justice FoundationAyesh has sued to regain his rights in Tameer Holding Investments for over a decade. [23] The company was taken over by his former partners, Ahmed Sulaiman Al-Rajhi and his brothers. Ayesh encountered numerous complainants while researching his case, including several that claimed fraud and corruption by the Al Rajhi group. The experience, coupled with a trend among global leaders to pursue corruption at every level of government and the private sector, prompted Ayesh to launch the Global Justice Foundation (GJF) in the U.S. capitol, Washington D.C. The GJF is a non-profit foundation dedicated to raising awareness about commercial crimes against individuals and entities regardless of race, gender, religion or nationality; and doing so with and for government agencies, independent organizations, judicial authorities, legal firms, the media, activists, and others. Business PhilosophyOn opportunity“One should not only be able to see opportunities where others aren’t looking, but also be willing to take the investment risk and have a clear vision on where to be down the road.” “The positive person turns the challenge into an opportunity, and the passive person transforms the opportunity into an ordeal.” References{{AFC submission|||ts=20190314071734|u=DetourBs|ns=118}} |
