Almas Tholot

I’m a UAE-born, award-winning journalist, editor, and public speaker with over 14 years of experience across the Middle East, particularly in the UAE.

 

I currently work as a Group Editor at the region’s largest media house, where I lead multiple business titles. My work focuses on business reporting across the built environment, with previous experience in the luxury sector, and an emphasis on in-depth interviews and long-form features.

 

My work has been recognised at multiple industry awards, reflecting a consistent focus on delivering strong, relevant editorial that resonates with professional audiences.

 

Over the years, I have worked closely with senior industry leaders across the region, covering topics ranging from operations and strategy to sustainability and growth. I am also regularly invited to industry events as a speaker, moderator, jury member, and media representative, which keeps me closely connected to the conversations shaping the sector.

​

At its core, my work is about telling stories that matter. Stories that are relevant, grounded, and reflective of what is actually happening across the industry.
