About

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Thani. Moe to most.

Moe on a mountain trail, surrounded by snowy peaks

Who he is

Built a company before his first mountain.

He was born in Sharjah on 16 June 1982 and is Qatari by family, with Emirati roots. He studied at the American University of Sharjah and is an alumnus of Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management (OPM) programme and a member of YPO. He co-founded a company before he ever climbed a mountain, and he built more after he came down.

The team

Along the way

Companies built beside the climbing.

Along the way he built companies that help people move, train, travel and live well — from getting more people into the air, to strength and longevity, to a table worth coming home to. They are part of the story, not the point of it.
