We are IMI

A privately-owned global media group that is leading the market in news, knowledge, and factual entertainment.

We are more than just a media company. We are pioneers in storytelling.

Driving this vision are our people – a portfolio of more than 800 talents across IMI's assets, including journalists, editors, presenters, and industry experts. Leading the editorial direction across our brands are Mina Al Oraibi, Editor-in-Chief of The National; and Ahmed Al Alawi, Editor-in-Chief of CNN Business Arabic and Al-Ain News. Their leadership and vision continue to play an important role in shaping the region’s media landscape.

Complementing this talent is IMI’s Chief International Anchor, Hadley Gamble, who plays a unique role in amplifying IMI’s global presence through exclusive interviews with world leaders and her participation in international forums.
