Ben Paglinawan spent more than sixteen years in business operations, sales and customer experience before starting Desert VA. Across that time, one problem kept showing up: growing businesses kept getting held back by how slow and expensive it is to hire locally.
That includes a stretch generating more than AED 100 million in sales, working close enough to operations to know what actually makes a support team useful and what just adds overhead. Desert VA is built on that experience. Today it supports businesses across the UAE and beyond with virtual assistants who are sourced, trained and managed end-to-end, not just placed and left to sort things out.
Sixteen-plus years in regional operations. AED 100M+ in sales generated along the way.
