GrubTech co-founder and CEO Mohamed Al Fayed has walked a fascinating journey. He describes himself as a "late bloomer" who took a while to figure out his passions and what makes him tick. He started restoring cars and selling ambulances before finding a niche in merchandise planning at Macy's and the Al Tayer Group.
These roles cultivated a skill for pattern recognition that helped him spot the opportunity for digital transformation within Al Tayer. He spearheaded the Omnichannel Division, crafting a digital presence for many of their luxury brands and orchestrating the region's first 2-hour delivery last mile for Ounass. In the summer of 2019, his adeptness for recognising patterns led him to start GrubTech, a plug and play end-to-end operating system for restaurants and cloud kitchens. GrubTech is currently in 16 countries and shows no signs of slowing down.
Mohamed joins us on The Change Officer Podcast to share his key learnings from his story as a proven intrapreneur and successful entrepreneur. He spoke about how failing fast and keeping on running has served him well in his career, fostering intrapreneurship within corporates and where great new opportunities are likely to arrive in the tech sector.

How reframing failure as a learning process can open us up to remarkable growth
