Markits began as a little consultancy project conceptualized by two friends, Micha Chebly and Joelle Fawaz. Understanding that regional markets lacked adaptable, research-based, consultancy firms, Micha and Joelle combined their expertise, passion and curiosity to create a firm to fill this gap.
In a matter of months, what started out as a two-team endeavour quickly grew its client base and team; and now offers a wide range of services throughout the Middle East. This is mainly due to its research-driven and personalized approach paired with a collaborative way of working, allowing clients to leave a lasting and unique mark in today’s dynamic markets.
