Based in Dubai, Jolly will serve our growing base of financial and professional clients throughout the Middle East and Africa. Her appointment follows the opening of our London office in 2023 and underscores the firm’s commitment to helping our clients grow across dynamic markets like the UAE, a global financial hub attracting unprecedented capital flows.

She has worked in sales trading at Goldman Sachs, payments innovation at Mastercard, thought leadership at the Economist Intelligence Unit and journalism at The Wall Street Journal. Most recently, she created transformational products, customer experiences and AI solutions for Bain & Company. Her work has won global PR awards, influenced European legislation and forged government partnerships.
“In today’s fast-changing environment, it is imperative that companies in the UAE elevate their thought leadership, excel at customer-centricity and create magnetic brands to stand out,” said Jolly. “I’m excited to bring New Narrative’s global industry expertise, data-driven strategies and deep editorial skills to the market to amplify our clients’ presence and impact.”
