Mohammed Al Delaimi

Financial technology, or ‘fintech’, is an emerging new market into which the entrepreneur Mohammed Al Delaimi has delved and excelled. As the Founder and CEO of SkipCash, a mobile payment solution application, he embarked on this journey two years ago. “For me, it has been and still is an inspiring journey, where I am always aiming to achieve better results and to delivery more than expected. This is the vision of the whole team at SkipCash.” As an avid online consumer, he saw a gap in the market and an opportunity to make the experience more convenient for both the merchant and the customer. The digital solution aims at unifying the mobile payment experience and making all transactions paper-less both online and in stores. Entering the market as a start-up came with its trials; “I have faced many challenges along the way. The main one was team management and leadership. Managing a big group of people hadn’t been a big part of my career, so for me it’s a continuous learning curve.” Being in Qatar gave Mohammed a lot of opportunities to develop himself in this field, with the entrepreneurship ecosystem providing numerous resources to grow and develop his idea into reality.
