Marianne Battikha

Born in Lebanon and raised in Dubai, Marianne Battikha has been breaking barriers and turning vision into reality from an early age. At just 12 years old, she made her first sale, setting the stage for a lifetime of entrepreneurial ventures. By 17, she entered the professional world through recruitment, proving that age was never a barrier to ambition.

Marianne went on to spend over a decade at SpotOn Media Services and Events, her family’s company, where she grew from the ground up to become the on-ground General Manager. Leading with both creativity and execution, she played a pivotal role in the success of major corporate events and high-profile award programs. From orchestrating the Digital Media Forum and MENA Digital Awards to executing luxury launches such as Bentley’s, Marianne developed a reputation for transforming bold ideas into powerful realities.

Today, Marianne is a Business & Mindset Coach, serial entrepreneur, and founder of the Kaizen Torch Awards a global recognition platform celebrating excellence in coaching across life, business, health, and organizational transformation. Through Kaizen Torch and her coaching practice, she empowers leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations to unlock their full potential, align their mindset with success, and create ripple effects of growth.

What makes her stand out is not just her ability to build businesses, it’s her humor, emotional intelligence, and “no limits” mindset. She believes that success is not reserved for the few, but available to all who are willing to take bold steps.

Because when you’ve been made in Dubai a city where ‘impossible’ isn’t in the vocabulary you learn that everything truly is possible.
