The boards at Benta and Linnk Group identified the emerging drive towards STEM expertise in the Kingdom would be crucial for the Saudi Arabian 2030 vision. Bringing the expertise and know-how of both companies together to be one of the first omnichannel STEM talent companies in the Kingdom.
The future of STEM jobs in Saudi Arabia looks bright, as the country continues to invest heavily in developing its STEM education and workforce to support the growing demand for skilled professionals in these fields.

Our Story
Inspired by his grandfathers' stories of their travels as tradesmen a century ago and fueled by his heritage as an ancient traveler, Waleed actively pursues modern trade opportunities. He began his journey working as a news anchor, whilst excelling academically and later becoming the president of the students' club in King Saud University. After graduation, he taught whilst he pursued postgraduate studies, eventually lecturing at the College of Technology and winning recognition for his excellence from the Prince of Riyadh (King Salman). His academic career also involved establishing partnerships with foreign institutes, resulting in the establishment of new branches in Saudi Arabia.
Transitioning to the public sector, Waleed played a crucial role in various partnerships with companies like Boeing, MA'ADEN, and ALMARAI, contributing to the development of major polytechnics and industries in Saudi Arabia. This experience led him to co-found Benta Arabia, an ICT consultancy firm, which quickly grew and achieved significant success. Reflecting on his 30 years of experience, Waleed then embarked on a joint venture with the Linnk Group to establish Linnk Arabia in 2023.
Throughout his career, Waleed volunteered to co-found numerous nonprofit organizations, associations, rehabilitation centers and has engaged in various entrepreneurial ventures. Waleed believes in promoting dialogue between cultures and civilizations and has published books on this subject, including "Mecca in the Eyes of the West," with plans to adapt it into a docudrama film.
Waleed's grandfathers' tales of desert caravans and overseas voyages continue to shape his vision for the future. He aims to establish a pioneering joint venture with his local team from Arabia's deserts and London's shores, that upskill Saudi IT engineers and science graduates to become high-caliber STEM consultants. This endeavor serves his beloved country, Saudi Arabia.
