About this Event
As part of the Wheeler Institute’s Journeys series, we are delighted to welcome Saad Mohseni, founder and CEO of the Moby Group, for a conversation on entrepreneurship, leadership, and resilience in one of the world’s most complex environments.
In his recent memoir, Radio Free Afghanistan, Mohseni recounts returning to Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban to build the country’s largest independent media company. By launching radio and television networks in a fragile and rapidly shifting political landscape, he helped reshape Afghanistan’s cultural and information ecosystem, expanding access to news, entertainment, and public debate at a pivotal moment in the country’s history.
In this conversation, Mohseni will reflect on what it means to build institutions where none exist, the ethical and strategic dilemmas of operating amid conflict and political uncertainty, and the personal toll and responsibility of leading at the intersection of business, media, and geopolitics. His journey offers powerful lessons on risk-taking, adaptability, and the role of private enterprise in advancing openness and opportunity.
The conversation will be moderated by Rajesh Chandy, Professor of Marketing at London Business School, Tony and Maureen Chair of Entrepreneurship and Co-Academic Director of the Wheeler Institute for Business and Development.
The series Journeys spotlights inspiring individuals who have pursued impact-driven business careers — often in challenging and transformative contexts. Please read here about the previous event of the series with Maureen and Tony Wheeler, Founders of Lonely Planet.
