Fractional | Padel

Sharp people. Short matches. Real conversation.

We're launching Fractional | Padel. A new evening built for senior Fractional executives in Dubai who want to mix high-quality networking with the city's favourite sport.

The format is built for connection, not just competition.

You'll play in rotating groups of four across short 20-minute matches. Teams and opponents change every round, so you meet everyone in the room over the course of the evening. Between matches, there are proper 10-minute breaks for water, refreshments, and the conversations that actually matter. Around 90 minutes of padel in total, followed by 30 to 45 minutes of post-game networking once rackets are down.

Why show up?

• Meet other Fractional CXOs in a setting that isn't a hotel ballroom
• Build relationships that hold up beyond a single introduction
• Trade notes with senior operators running the same playbook you are
• Move, sweat a little, and remember that good networking does not have to feel like work
• Find the bench you can call on for your next mandate, and offer yours
• Help shape what Fractional | Padel becomes from event two onwards

Just experienced operators on court, then off court, talking honestly about the work.

Numbers are tight by design. The pilot runs across 3 indoor courts in Al Quoz, capped at 12 players. We are starting small so we can do this properly, then scaling court count from event two.

If you've been looking for a more human way to keep your network warm, this is it.

What to bring
