Donna Lee-Elliott
Chief Sales Officer
More than three decades of leadership experience and nearly two decades in the UAE market, with senior sales roles at Aldar, Emaar, Dubai Properties, Omniyat and Nakheel behind her.
OCTA was founded on one idea: a residence should be planned as a whole.
OCTA is a Dubai house of five specialist companies, working as one team across property, development, design, marketing and investments. From the land a home stands on to the day it is sold, every stage is carried under one standard. No part of the work is outsourced.
From one belief,
a group of five.
OCTA began in 2021, founded in Dubai by Fawaz Sous after more than two decades inside the emirate’s property sector, including senior sales leadership at Emaar and DAMAC.
It started as a specialist sales and marketing partner for developers, bringing project positioning, strategic marketing, broker distribution and sales execution together under one experienced team. Projects were taken to market more intelligently, and potential was converted into performance.
From there the group grew deliberately, one discipline at a time, adding design, marketing, development and investments until a single representation business had become five companies. Today OCTA carries a residence whole, from land to sale, alongside global brands from Missoni and Elie Saab to Franck Muller and Marriott.
