Kholoud Attar

Go-getter Kholoud Attar was the first Saudi businesswoman to attain an import and film distribution license for films in the Kingdom. According to “Al Arabiya,” the savvy Jeddah-based initiator’s desire to show local filmmakers’ creations motivated her to acquire the license. And with cooperation from a team at the General Authority for Audiovisual Media, she was able to realise her goal of focusing on Saudi films.

Attar, who has been ranked by “Forbes” magazine as one of the most inspiring figures in Saudi, also founded “Design,” the Kingdom’s first design magazine, in 2007. The printed publication and networking events, followed by a digital platform, have helped keep creatives connected. Additionally, the entrepreneur, who has a Graphic Design degree from Dar Al-Hekma University, became the first woman to be appointed as a media manager in the history of Saudi football. Mecca-based Al-Wehda chose to hire Kholoud Abdel Rahman Attar Publishing House (KAAPH Media), Attar’s public relations firm and publishing house, to lead its media centre. Attar has undoubtedly gained a strong foothold in the field of Saudi media after founding and heading KAAPH Media.
