CEO of Lovin Dubai, Richard Fitzgerald’s journey in the United Arab Emirates, commenced over a decade ago when he arrived in Dubai, armed with ambition and a director title at the age of 28. In a candid conversation on The Road to Success Podcast with Lady Mayowa, he reflects on his early career, stating, “I was always ambitious. Even in university, I just didn’t find my flow.” This determination fueled his climb through the ranks, and upon arriving in Dubai, he envisioned a path that transcended traditional boundaries. Despite challenges faced early on, Richard’s commitment to hard work and perseverance became evident. He shares, “The harder you work today, the more you’re awarded tomorrow.” The map of the region (detailing his company’s geographical expansion) is displayed in his office, a testament to his extensive travels, encapsulates the vision that propelled him forward as an immigrant navigating the intricacies of a new environment. Lovin Dubai is a part of the Augustus Media brand alongside Smashi TV. (This podcast was recorded in September 2023)
