Born in 1976 just before the Iranian Revolution growing up was challenging and life looked a lot different to today. Becky Fatemi arrived in the UK as a six-month old and went to a boarding school. She spent her childhood in a rough estate and left home at 15. Hustling her way from nothing to her multi-million empire, Becky then went on to going from £0 to an £8.3billion real estate empire. Since then, Becky has managed to turn her life upside down – and is now, on a mission to cause ‘’disruption’’, the property guru wants to inspire others.
Not only does Becky Fatemi run a realty empire, Rokstone, which was sold to Sotheby’s, she also set up a charitable foundation, Shadow To Shine, which offers mentoring, work experience and employability skills training to young adults aged between 16 and 30. So far 300 young adults have benefited from the programme, with help from 400 volunteer mentors from employers such as Vogue, Samsung and the London Stock Exchange.
She now splits her time across Rokstone and her new Tech Company, Blackbook. Committed to causing disruption in every business she starts, she’s excited about the future and never ever takes no for an answer.
