Done+Dusted Expands to Saudi Arabia, Appoints Clare Baarda as Country Manager

Done+Dusted has officially expanded its Middle East presence with the launch of a new office in Saudi Arabia, appointing veteran executive Clare Baarda to lead the charge. With two decades of production experience across the Kingdom—including projects like G20 Cultural Activations and World Tourism Day—Baarda brings deep regional expertise to her new role as Country Manager, reporting to Group CEO Simon Pizey.

“This region is setting a new global benchmark for ambition in live experiences, and Done+Dusted is world class at delivering on that kind of vision,” said Baarda. She will focus on expanding the company’s large-scale productions, original IP, and branded experiences across Saudi Arabia—building on D+D’s growing legacy in the region.

Already a force in the Middle East with offices in Abu Dhabi, Done+Dusted has produced standout events including the Joy Awards, E-Sports World Cup, Fury vs. Usyk opener, and immersive showcases for Qiddiya Gaming. The addition of a Saudi base—and Baarda’s leadership—marks a bold next step in scaling world-class storytelling across the Kingdom.
