Career Milestones
In 2004, Babak Kazemi founded Trade Horizon General Trading in Dubai, serving as its CEO. Initially focused on the perfume trade, the company quickly evolved under Babak’s leadership when it secured an exclusive production contract with Tapesh Conferences & Organizers, overseeing their entire TV commercial and media production output.
With vision and initiative, Babak became the pioneer behind the launch of the English movie channel “MBC Persia” in collaboration with the Al Jazeera media network, which is owned by Saudi prince Sheikh Walid. This marked a new chapter in Persian-English crossover content within the region’s satellite broadcasting landscape.
By late 2009, Babak stepped down from his active positions in the UAE and redirected his focus to Malaysia, where he began laying the foundation for what would later become Atlas Business Group—a launchpad for cross-border entertainment ventures and international concert productions.
