Valerie Chahbazian is more than just an entrepreneur — she is a connector, a strategist, and a woman whose journey reflects resilience, cultural intelligence, and purpose.
As the founder and CEO of EDIPS, a Dubai-based strategic consultancy, Valerie has dedicated her work to fostering discreet and meaningful collaborations between investors, institutions, and key figures across sport, luxury, and innovation.
Her story is not one of privilege, but of persistence — of a woman who arrived in Dubai and, through integrity and dedication, earned her place among the region’s elite circles.
From France to Dubai: A Path Built on Respect and Purpose
Originally from France, Valerie brought with her a strong foundation in project management and cross-cultural communication. Her move to Dubai in 2021 marked a turning point — not only professionally but personally.
In a world where access is earned, the Dubai Sports Council played a defining role in her growth.
They welcomed her, trusted her, and allowed her to observe from within — the essence, the discipline, and the unity that define the Emirati sports world.
Through that trust, Valerie found more than professional opportunities — she found a sense of belonging. “They became like family,” she often says.
That trust strengthened her belief that true success comes from loyalty, respect, and silent work done with sincerity.
EDIPS: A Brand Rooted in Wellness and Culture
EDIPS was born from Valerie’s conviction that strategy should serve vision — not ego.
The company operates at the intersection of fundraising, strategic development, and elite partnership building, connecting high-level players who share the same values: excellence, authenticity, and long-term impact.
EDIPS’s unique approach lies in its confidential and ethical process.
Rather than public exposure, the focus is on substance over visibility — ensuring that each collaboration is rooted in trust, mutual respect, and clear value creation.
From sporting initiatives to cross-sector investments, Valerie’s role is to identify the right synergies and build bridges where others see barriers.
Resilience and Vision: The Human Side of Strategy
Valerie’s rise in Dubai was not without its challenges.
Entering closed networks, navigating cultural differences, and maintaining integrity in a competitive environment required unwavering determination.
But each challenge refined her — teaching her patience, emotional intelligence, and the art of timing.
Her story embodies what she believes deeply: “The strongest connections are the ones built in silence, through actions that speak louder than words.”
A Trusted Presence in the UAE’s Elite Landscape
Today, Valerie stands out as one of the rare female figures trusted within circles traditionally reserved for men — the world of high-level sport, investment, and institutional collaboration.
Her name, and that of EDIPS, have become associated with precision, discretion, and credibility — qualities that resonate deeply in the UAE, where values and reputation matter above all else.
Through her work with partners such as Dubai Sports Council and various private investors, she has contributed to shaping projects that align with the country’s vision of excellence and sustainable growth.
Looking Ahead: Building with Integrity
Valerie’s next chapter is not about expansion for the sake of scale — it’s about deepening alliances.
Her ambition is to keep strengthening EDIPS’s reputation as a trusted partner for strategic projects in sport, luxury, and innovation — both in the UAE and abroad.
Her leadership style remains guided by humility and precision. She believes that trust cannot be claimed; it must be earned, and that every partnership, when built with honor, becomes part of something far greater than business.
Conclusion
Valerie Chahbazian’s story is one of grace under pressure, loyalty in action, and vision turned into structure.
Through EDIPS, she has built more than a consultancy — she has created a bridge between worlds, where cultural respect meets strategic intelligence.
Her journey embodies the essence of Dubai itself: dynamic, visionary, and profoundly human.
