Hasan Fardan Al Fardan on Adapting to a Digital World
The CEO of Al Fardan Exchange highlighted the importance of digital transformation for businesses in a chat with Inc. Arabia.
“Digital isn’t just part of our strategy — it’s foundational.”
Al Fardan Exchange CEO Hasan Fardan Al Fardan underlined his UAE-based financial institution’s commitment to digital transformation in an interview with Inc. Arabia on the sidelines of the Dubai AI & Web3 Festival in September.
According to Al Fardan, Al Fardan Exchange has placed tech adoption at the core of its strategy to stay ahead of a rapidly changing market. With customers becoming more tech-savvy by the day, Al Fardan stresses the importance of offering products that truly meet their needs. “To keep up with these digitally-driven customers, we constantly work on upgrading our digital infrastructure,” he adds.
But it’s not just about having the latest tools, he says – timing and speed are critical. Al Fardan warns of the risks businesses face if they don’t keep pace with the fast-evolving landscape. “What’s exciting today might be outdated in six months,” he points out. His advice? Move quickly, stay flexible, and always be ready to adapt.
When asked what businesses should keep in mind before embarking on their own digital transformations, Al Fardan’s message is clear: don’t shy away from change, and don’t be afraid to stumble. “You will make mistakes,” he adds. “That’s just part of the process!”
