VERO co-founder and CEO Ayman Hariri is an ambitious, progressive investor with a passion for responsible technology. Spurred by his travels, cultural exchanges, and a frustration with the traditional one-size-fits-all model of social media, Ayman aspired to create a social networking platform that protects user privacy and prioritizes genuine connection over engagement.

Ayman’s vision led to the genesis of VERO, an ethical social network optimized for connection, not addiction with nearly 7M members globally. Today, VERO is proud to be a global community of people connecting over shared passions and interests – including TV shows, books, music, photos and more.

Ayman was born in Riyadh, educated in Paris and attended Georgetown University to study Computer Science. In his spare time, he enjoys taking photos with his Leica camera. Ayman lives with his wife and three children in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
