RUDY WEHBE Biography
Rudy Wehbe (Arabic: رودي وهبه, born 10 October 1994) is a Lebanese Entrepreneur & Medical Doctor. His work was recognized by regional and international magazines and TV Channels including Forbes, BBC News Arabia and others. Wehbe was featured in Forbes' 30 under 30 list, amongst the 2022 cohort of MENA's most promising young entrepreneurs, pioneers and creatives, alongside his business partner Ely El Khoury.
Wehbe was born in Akoura, Lebanon, and attended the Lebanese German school. He pursued his higher education in Medical Education at the Lebanese American University from which he graduated in 2019 with Bachelor of Science in Biology and a professional degree as Medical Doctor. Following his medical degree, Rudy completed a year of Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship at LAU Medical Center, Rizk Hospital.
Wehbe and El Khoury cofounded the creative agency Digital SocioPath in Lebanon in 2019 with a focus on digital services, including social media, augmented reality effects, and branding. Their client roster includes global brands such as McDonald’s, Elie Saab, Ziad Raphael Nassar, Bioderma, and Expo 2020 Dubai.
The Lebanese entrepreneurs also worked with several celebrities like Elissa, Nadine Nassib Njeim, Cyrine Abdel Nour, Maya Diab & Najwa Karam. The company’s augmented reality filters help brands, public figures, celebrities, and influencers to engage with their customers and fans, with some of them generating more than 4 billion impressions.
Not only Digital SocioPath managed to succeed, but also thrived in the GCC area despite the incredibly challenging situation in Lebanon. Years of successful creative engagements in the MENA & GCC region led to an increase in Digital Sociopath’s international clients, making Rudy & Ely pioneers in their field.
The recent boom of the “Metaverse” inspired Rudy to launch his second child agency “MetaPath” alongside his business partners, which specializes in creating virtual worlds for their clients.
