Mouhamad Rassoul Dieng
Pioneering Senegalese businessman, investor, and philanthropist.
Mouhamad Rassoul Dieng is a pioneering Senegalese businessman and active philanthropist. He believes that his corporate and charitable efforts are two sides of the same mission: to build and empower Africa. After successfully launching online gambling in Senegal and West Africa, he has invested in projects that will advance African development across the construction, agriculture, and logistics industries. His Fondation MRD gives back to communities across his home country, where it improves access to healthcare, education, and community welfare across Senegal.
Enterprise with purpose
Through his holding company, MIR Holdings, Mouhamad’s ventures span real estate, logistics, agriculture, infrastructure, digital financial services and retail. His guiding question across his portfolio is simple:
“What do the people of this country actually need?”
His investments therefore provide housing where there is a shortage, logistics where existing options are insufficient, and expansion of agricultural activities where potential is unrealised. Across Africa and the UAE, his companies and investments support over 1,200 jobs and his expertise and knowledge is often sought by governments across the continent.
Active philanthropy
Mouhamad’s Fondation MRD was established in 2022 to improve access to healthcare, education, and social welfare to communities across Senegal. It focuses on practical, life-changing initiatives — from funding medical treatments and building community medical clinics to supporting schools, orphanages, and families in need.
