Experiential Eventologist | Business Strategist | Consultant | Entrepreneur
I am Husam Haris, a business strategist, experiential eventologist, and consultant, with a passion for crafting immersive brand experiences that connect people, brands, and cultures. Over the years, I have built a career at the intersection of experiential marketing, business growth, and innovation, helping brands create meaningful, high-impact engagements.
As the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of The Hanging House (2017 - Present), I have played a pivotal role in transforming it into one of the fastest-growing experiential event agencies in the GCC. Under my leadership, we have delivered high-profile campaigns, including the Nissan Patrol Ride & Drive event across eight GCC cities, the RTA Blue Line Launch in 2023, and the Nissan Kicks Launch in 2025. Additionally, we have pioneered the integration of AI in experiential events, with FIRE, our AI-driven engagement tool, making history as the first AI panelist at Saudi Athar Festival.
Beyond my work at The Hanging House, I have expanded my entrepreneurial journey into new ventures. In 2025, I founded Wastaa, a company dedicated to transforming the way individuals find the right resources for their professional requirements. Wastaa bridges the gap between talent and opportunity, ensuring individuals connect with the right expertise, networks, and services to enhance their careers and business endeavors. Additionally, I have been serving as a Financial Advisor for Golden Unique Spare Parts in Saudi Arabia (March 2022 - Present), helping streamline financial operations and drive growth strategies.
Previously, I worked at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (2013 - 2015) as a Senior Business Analyst in the SME Division, where I managed portfolios of up to AED 200 million per month, analyzing business performance, optimizing financial solutions, and driving strategic growth for SME clients. Additionally, I founded Swish (March 2021 - February 2023), successfully launching and closing an investment project. This experience reinforced the importance of focus, strategic prioritization, and commitment—a lesson that continues to guide me in all my ventures today.
With a vision to push boundaries, create meaningful experiences, and drive business transformation, I now offer my expertise as a consultant to help businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations unlock their full potential.
With years of experience leading businesses and large-scale projects, I offer strategic consulting in:
Crafting high-impact events and brand activations that leave lasting impressions and engage audiences at a deeper level.
Helping businesses optimize operations, increase profitability, and scale sustainably in competitive markets.
Developing compelling brand narratives that align with market trends and consumer behaviors.
Implementing cutting-edge AI, digital solutions, and experiential technology to enhance customer engagement.
Connecting businesses with key stakeholders, investors, and industry leaders to expand their reach and impact.
