While still in Montreal attending Concordia University, Fathaldin co-founded UTURN. Being torn between the call to entrepreneurship and his B.E. Industrial Engineering he ultimately dropped out and joined the team in Jeddah as the first sales director. With no prior experience, he achieved more than SAR 2M in sales within a year, building up the what would become the iconic Saudi media cornerstone. While still a partner at UTURN, he went on to co-found Alcomedy Club and utilized his strong network of comedians to secure 20 talents for shows with large margins. He then co-founded Hype Digital Media Services, which went on to make more than SAR 7M in sales annually for more than 3 years. Later he co-founded Lammt.com in 2014, the most important local ticketing platform in Saudi, that did more than SAR 6M in tickets sales in 2017. In 2017, he shifted into entrepreneurship education by working at the Mohammed bin Salman College for Business and Entrepreneurship and Ignite Centers in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Most recently, he has returned to UTURN as General Manager excited to restart the brand in a new competitive landscape.
