Sharif Omar Hashisho, Chairman

Qatar Vision Production Company "QVision" is Qatar's premier event company. Founded in 1993 by our Managing Director, Sharif Hashisho, QVision has 600 employees in three premises in Qatar, including our headquarters facility in Doha. QVision, has been the recipient of numerous awards for events design and execution, sports events and entertainment production, and events innovation & experience.

Sharif Hashisho, Chairman, Artistic Director and Creative Visionary of QVision, stands as one of the most influential and creative forces in the events and live entertainment industry. Since July 1, 2023, Sharif has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to transform bold ideas into emotionally powerful, technically groundbreaking, and culturally resonant experiences, earning him recognition as a leading creative mind in the region and beyond.

Sharif's creativity is defined by his unique ability to blend storytelling, technology, culture, and human emotion into immersive live experiences. Under his creative leadership, QVision delivered landmark events including the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025, FIFA U17 World Cup, FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and the AFC Asian Cup Elite Finals, where he oversaw the complete creative conception of ceremonies, stadium entertainment, fan engagement activations, and broadcast-integrated experiences across multiple venues. Each event redefined how sport, culture, and live entertainment can merge to captivate both in-stadium audiences and millions of global viewers.

One of Sharif's most defining creative achievements was the LNG2026 Opening Ceremony and Conference, where he conceived a deeply emotional narrative tracing Qatar's journey from its pre-energy heritage to its global leadership in LNG. The ceremony featured automated moving screens synchronized with cinematic content, live orchestral and traditional music, cultural performances, and historically authentic props, including a custom-built Dhow boat and a vintage oil labor transport truck. This seamless fusion of live performance and advanced automation delivered a powerful visual language rarely seen in government or corporate events.

Sharif's creativity also extends into entertainment and music events. At Lusail, he led the creative and technical production of major concerts featuring Tamer Hosny, Adam, and Ed Sheeran, crafting stage designs and immersive audiovisual environments that elevated each performance into a fully realized artistic spectacle. Every element-from lighting and visuals to special effects and audience flow-was meticulously designed to deliver maximum emotional impact and unforgettable "wow moments."

Beyond individual projects, Sharif has cultivated a creative culture within QVision that empowers designers, producers, and technical teams to push boundaries and innovate fearlessly. His leadership encourages experimentation, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and the constant evolution of creative expression. In recognition of his influence, Sharif was named Middle East Event Industry Icon in 2023 and has previously won multiple Stevie Awards as the Most Innovative Creative Leader.

Sharif Hashisho's achievements since July 1, 2023, exemplify what it means to be the most creative person of the year-a visionary who does not merely produce events, but creates experiences that move people, celebrate culture, and redefine the possibilities of live storytelling on a global stage.
