Randa Ayoubi founded Rubicon Holdings fifteen years ago and can now boast of running the region’s largest animation studio. Ayoubi has transformed the firm — which she founded as a venture capital project in 1994 — into a global powerhouse with five international branches and more than 300 employees. The Amman-based company produces hits such as Ben & Izzy, a children’s cartoon series promoting cross-cultural understanding. Last year the firm entered a partnership to broadcast the series on the Cartoon Network.
