Some journeys deserve to be celebrated.
In 2025, Ammar Akhtar stood on the Mastering Diversity Awards stage as a recipient of a Meritorious Award for Excellence in Diversity in Business.
Today, he returns as a Mastering Diversity Ambassador and sponsor of our *
2026 Community Champion Award.
That is the power of ecosystem. 💜🧡
Ammar is the Founder & CEO of Finalrentals, a Welsh-founded global mobility platform operating across more than 65 countries and 225 locations worldwide.
For over 17 years, he has championed innovation, entrepreneurship and opportunity, helping independent businesses compete on the global stage through technology, partnerships and vision.
His belief is simple:
✨ Talent is universal.
✨ Ambition is universal.
✨ Opportunity should be too.
As an incumbent TEDx Speaker, entrepreneur and global business leader, Ammar continues to advocate for more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems where founders can thrive regardless of geography, background or circumstance.
What we admire most is that he hasn't simply achieved success.
He has chosen to come back and create opportunities for others.
