Who is Ada?
I’ve been working and living in the United Arab Emirates for 10 years. I’m an entrepreneur and writer. I’ve lived in the Middle East for 12 years and run my own business for 15.
I grew up in Denmark, where my parents worked as diplomats. My father later moved into international business development, expanding Benckiser’s operations into Western European markets.
In the 1990s, both parents started their own businesses – my father created a distribution company in the FMCG sector, and my mother developed an interior design company.
They retired quite early: dad is now a business angel and a pensioner, and mom spends her days like a perpetual vacationer, diving and sunbathing on the Red Sea.
They gave me an entrepreneurial approach to life, an openness to different cultures, and a respect for hard work. But the most important thing they gave me was the awareness that opportunity is something you have to create yourself. My life has been a story of trial and error in this regard.
W naszej rodzinie do dziś trwa spór, czy swoją pierwszą firmę założyłam mając cztery, czy pięć lat.
Ojciec utrzymuje, że cztery – bo to on nauczył mnie podstaw ekonomii, zanim nauczyłam się czytać.
When I wanted a new bike and Christmas was much later, I started a small “taxi company” in Copenhagen—driving neighborhood kids to the ice cream bus on my tricycle every Saturday. My dad joked that his parenting role was over because I’d end up owning the business anyway.
And then, completely unexpectedly, I surprised everyone with my decision—I’m going to be an artist. I’m going to a visual artist. Dad commented briefly: “You have to be really good at it, because it’s hard to make a living from art alone. Your generation won’t get pensions from National Insurance anymore.”
Like every child, I naturally had my own opinions. My dad was convinced I’d eventually end up owning a marketing agency. I was one of 40 students accepted into the school, and I graduated. But I surprised everyone once again—I’ll become an artist, but a theater one. I’m going to study theater directing, playwriting, and screenwriting. My first play, “The Nightingale,” is still being performed in Toruń. I wrote a few television scripts, translated a few books, and finally came to the conclusion that my dad was right. It was impossible to make a decent living from art. Having achieved the status of a starving artist, I went to business school.
I studied Entrepreneurship in Creative Sectors at Kozminski University in Warsaw. It was my first experiment with combining art and business—I founded a literary agency representing screenwriters and playwrights. It failed spectacularly; I made every mistake a first-time entrepreneur could make. My second attempt was better—an interior design company where I manufactured and sold steel loft furniture. But I also mismanaged my cash flow, so I had to close that chapter.
I went to Egypt for a quick visit to my mother. What was supposed to be a two-week vacation turned into a year-long stay—and a completely unexpected career in real estate. I started working in sales for a developer, bringing European clients into the Egyptian vacation rental market. I soon caught the attention of local agents and developers, and then began representing them at real estate fairs in the Gulf countries. I traveled to exhibitions and industry events in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, gradually saving up my commissions and gaining experience.
At some point, I came to a simple conclusion:
I’m good at selling real estate. Maybe it’s time to start my own business—in the best city in the Middle East. Dubai.
I first came to Dubai in 2015 for the Cityscape Expo
Shortly after, I returned—this time with two experienced real estate agents from Egypt.
The plan was simple: sell Portuguese and Egyptian holiday properties to Emirati residents. Jak każdy rozsądny przedsiębiorca, zwróciliśmy się o pomoc do doradcy od zakładania firm. I put my savings on the table, my partners added theirs—and then… we were cheated.
The agent overcharged us by AED 50,000, failed to inform us about the need for a local sponsor with RERA credentials, and the woman who was formally our sponsor didn’t even know she was one.
My passport was held as “security” for another made-up fee for a supposed “CID check.” Our company couldnt legaly function Thats how I learned About Dubai, the hard way.
This disaster turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After that experience, I felt a responsibility to warn other investors about similar scams.
I started posting in online groups and forums, sharing real procedures, real costs, and my own experiences. I documented everything I learned in government offices and institutions in the form of practical instructions and published them wherever I could.
I had no idea I was laying the foundation for the most beautiful career of my life.
People started asking me for help with starting businesses and handling paperwork—and so, in 2016, I launched my first company for someone else. Since then, I’ve helped establish 834 companies—both mainland and free zone—across the Emirates. Over the years, I’ve also witnessed the remarkable transformation of the UAE government sector, which systematically eliminated problematic intermediaries that once hindered business operations.
