Empowering Women Entrepreneurship - The Story of MOISHI a Woman-Owned
In a world where gender equality is still an ongoing battle, as a female entrepreneur, starting and growing a successful business can often feel like an uphill battle. During this Women's History Month, which honours women's remarkable contributions and achievements, it's essential to celebrate those who have broken barriers and achieved their dreams despite the challenges they faced. One such inspiring figure is Carole Moawad, the Founder & CEO of MOISHI & Uchi, a Japanese Mochi ice cream brand and restaurant in the UAE.
In this blog post, we will reveal how Carole turned her sweet tooth into a recipe for success, MOISHI's success story, and most importantly, take away valuable lessons on entrepreneurship, perseverance, and believing in oneself. Let's begin!
Carole Moawad - A Modern Innovator
Carole Moawad the founder of MOISHI & Uchi was born and brought up in Lebanon, where she spent her childhood surrounded by love and family. Growing up, Carole developed a passion for food and a curious mind that led her to pursue a degree in chemistry. After completing her studies, Carole started her corporate journey with renowned multinational firms like PwC and Munich Re. While her corporate job provided stability and financial security, Carole's heart yearned for something more.
It was during a visit to Beirut that Carole tried the mochi ice creams for the first time ever at a Japanese restaurant, and instantly fell in love with everything about it, that’s when Carole's entrepreneurial spirit was ignited. She decided to launch her very own mochi ice cream cafe in the city, that would be the UAE’s first and little did she know that it would one day be the best Japanese confectionary brand in UAE.
The decision to quit her job and pursue her dreams was not an easy one for Carole. Despite the uncertainty and fear of stepping out of her comfort zone, Carole knew deep down that she couldn't ignore her passion any longer. And so, with her strong determination towards her goal, she made the bold decision to leave behind the corporate world and pursue her dream.
