Zeid Hreish
Zeid Hreish has spent fifteen years launching and scaling businesses across the Middle East. He joined Uber in 2014 as its first local hire in Saudi Arabia and grew the market to more than 250,000 drivers. At CloudKitchens he was the first regional hire, building the MENA business from zero across five countries and more than fifty locations, deploying approximately $400M of capital with regional P&L ownership.
He later led EMEA expansion for Tools for Humanity (World) and headed MENA for Nash, building the regional business and a qualified pipeline of more than $10M. His work has consistently sat at the same intersection: entering hard markets, building teams, and turning early traction into durable regional scale.
Through Deploy, he brings that operating record together with advisory relationships and angel investments, backing businesses built for the long term.
