Bilal Mekkaoui Featured in USA Today: The Mastermind Behind Celebrity-Led Brands

Oui Collab is thrilled to announce that our founder, Bilal Mekkaoui, has been profiled in USA Today’s contributor series. The article, “Bilal Mekkaoui, The Mastermind Behind Jobi Brands, Shares His Incredible Journey,” dives into the incubator platform that underpins our success in building and scaling celebrity-led ventures.

  • Expert Execution: Installing seasoned CEOs and lean teams to drive rapid product development, distribution, and community building.
