Charlotte Borghesi is Bringing Better Change Education Design in Dubai.
In 2017, Charlotte Borghesi took a bold step in purchasing a nursery on the verge of closing, which sparked her journey into the education industry. This decision led her to find Kidzink, a Dubai-based educational design and manufacturing group that now operates in 23 countries. Under her leadership as Managing Director, Kidzink has transformed from a small furniture trading business to a major player in the educational space, creating innovative environments where children thrive.
Borghesi and her husband, Paolo, faced numerous challenges as they built their brand, emphasising relationship-building and exceptional service over profits. They invested in local craftsmanship to produce high-quality, custom furniture and expanded their operations to include an in-house architectural firm, Kidzink Office of Design and Architecture (KODA). With a commitment to innovation and quality, the company has grown rapidly, achieving an impressive 40% annual growth and securing significant projects, including their first school order of over AED 6 million in 2019.
Beyond her entrepreneurial success, Borghesi made history in February 2024 as the first woman to lead a UAE-flagged team to victory in the Dubai Duty Free SB20 Triple Sailing Championships. Her achievements not only highlight her prowess in a competitive industry but also demonstrate her commitment to fostering a strong, family-oriented company culture, with a remarkable employee retention rate of over 99%. Borghesi’s journey showcases how passion, innovation, and leadership can reshape industries and inspire future generation.
