ROCCO, Yet to confirm
“ I never lose.
I either win, or I learn.”
Twenty-eight years of building, rescuing and reinventing - compressed into a sentence.
The Philosophy
The Journey
A compressed chronology of the milestones that shaped Monty Holding and its operating companies under Mountasser Hachem's leadership.
One office in Beirut
He was already in the messaging business. He just had not named it yet.
Monty Mobile
He bought a GSM license in the Seychelles and built an international travel SIM on it. The business rebranded as Monty Mobile that year.
Earning a seat at the table
He signed the early deals on terms that barely paid, to prove the traffic would land where he said it would. Each delivery made the next conversation easier.
From one office to a global network
Monty Mobile was working with more than 700 mobile operators, with hundreds of employees across an expanding international network.
The Gambia
By early 2022, Monty Mobile had assumed full operational management, and its teams delivered Comium's 4G+ transformation in eight months.
MyMonty goes live
Built in Beirut, the digital wallet expanded financial access where trust and convenience mattered most.
MontyPay launches
Its reach would grow across more than fifty countries, serving businesses often underserved by traditional payment providers.
5000+ partners
From one Beirut office to 20 countries and 200+ markets, the business now spans telecom, fintech, payments, infrastructure, media, investment, and services.
