A Dubai success story inspiring women all over the world w/ Donna Benton
Donna Benton represents a great example of female empowerment. The Australian born entrepreneur launched the Entertainer in 2001 providing “buy one get one free” offers to the best restaurants, cafes, nightspots and attractions. Donna grew the business into different countries using the same model, while also expanding her product line to include spas, beauty and hotel accommodation. The award-winning Entertainer App was launched in 2013, and transitioned from a print publication to a data-driven technology firm. Under her leadership the ENTERTAINER contributed US$1.3 billion to the economy and experienced 25 to 30 per cent profit growth each year. The sale and final exit for Donna, reached a nine-figure mark in USD – an extraordinary achievement not only for Donna, but also one of the largest start-up sales in the region to date. Donna has now launched a new swimwear brand, Caha Capo, under her umbrella company The Benton Group (TBG) which is headquartered in Dubai. In this episode she shares her journey through selling, setting up again and everything in between.
