Nada Badran is a former strategy professional turned storyteller.

She is the founder of a Dubai-based tour business called Wander With, offering cultural experiences and educational workshops in the UAE.

Curious by nature, Nada started the company with the mission to offer the antidote to on-the-grid travel – unique, candid, unscripted moments that happen when you truly wander in the UAE’s less glamorous corners.

She is the host of a travel show, Tajawal Ma’a Nada, on CNN Arabic where she takes viewers through tales of her global adventures and shares her two fils on travel.

Nada is also a start-up enthusiast and is a speaker on the strategies and challenges facing aspiring businesses and the tourism industry. She holds an MBA from IE Business School in Spain.

Light is the new chrome!

Until now, whenever automotive designers wanted to draw attention to highlights, they often used chrome details and strips – on the inside and outside. For a few years now, the trend has additionally been moving towards new light elements in the vehicle interior, but most of all on the outside of the vehicle. “Light is the new chrome,” Klaus Zyciora explains as the Volkswagen Group Head of Design and former Head of Volkswagen Brand Design. “Light plays a major role, especially for an electric vehicle. It represents energy and electricity, but also warmth and safety. Light is a perfect symbol for the mobility of the future.”
