Meet The Team
Rob McIntosh
Rob's career in entertainment spans some thirty five years.
Upon graduating from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Rob worked for the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation, followed by a successful freelance career in London, working for a number of world-renown orchestras, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
After a career of recording and performing around the world, playing violin in front of queens and presidents alike, he then joined Sarah Brightman's team as her tour manager.
Once again he circled the globe, managing hugely successful tours in some of the most prestigious venues in the world.
Combining all his skills, Rob then started MA Concerts in the UK, producing large scale events around the UK.
In total, he has been involved with over one thousand concerts in the UK and abroad.
In 2014, he joined forces with his business partner, Daniel Goldberg, to expand into the GCC region. Together they have produced concerts in UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, India & Saudi Arabia.
Daniel Goldberg
As an ex-professional broadcaster from London, Daniel's roots are firmly based in
the entertainment business.
He managed the careers of several acclaimed artists as well as running his own recording label, distribution and publishing companies.
In 2006, using his well-rounded entertainment industry experience, he identified a gap in the Middle East for talent management and event production.
Since then, he has been based in Dubai and has brokered hundreds of talent deals
and toured artists across the region including the first Middle East and India tours for Ed Sheeran, Michael Bublé, Drake and countless others, in turn contributing
majorly to ever-evolving entertainment landscape in the region.
With clients ranging from Meydan, Atlantis The Palm and Dubai Opera, MAC Global has become an industry leader in the field.
Kathryn Watson
Kathryn qualified as a solicitor in 2009 and worked for 5 years in private practice in
the UK before moving to Dubai and into the arts, joining Dubai Opera at the pre-opening stage.

Connie Alagos
Finance
Hey, I’m Connie. I joined MAC Global in July 2023 and moved into the Finance Department at the start of 2024. Before this I gained extensive experience in event sponsorship activation, F&B event curation, and commercial operations, including executing activations for international events such as the Budweiser FIFA World Cup Qatar, WXV3 Rugby – Mastercard Player of the Match, Expo Dubai 2020, MDLBEAST Soundstorm, IHG Hotel Activation & UAE Cultural events & F&B initiatives. I love watching sport (Nadal is my fav tennis player), hiking, singing and am a frustrated chef.
Maureen Castillo
EVENT MANAGER / EA
I’m Maureen – also known as Mozza, (thanks to Rob), which I actually love. Been in the industry for 11 years now which has been a dream. I manage all the logistics for events with a sprinkling of EA / Office Management & admin too! I love meeting all the artists and if you don’t see me doing events, I’ll be underwater playing with Nemo. To summarise – Event Manager by night, licensed Scuba Diver by day.
Anwar Nuseibeh
New Business Dev & IP
Weird fact – I went to the same school as Rob Stringer and started my career in the Sony Music UK post room. It’s my favourite label. Over the years I’ve led digital marketing campaigns for the likes of Madonna, Calvin Harris, Jamiroquai and Mark Ronson. I’ve also helped create one of the UK’s first YouTube Originals channel and Exec Produced the McLaren Grand Prix Driver documentary for Amazon Prime. I love linking good, creative ideas and partners together to create new opportunities, curating owned IP and developing opportunities. A Man Utd / Miami Dolphins fan, for my sins
