Sean Barcoe Featured in Gulf Times Now's Inaugural "Entrepreneurs' Issue"

Abu Dhabi, UAE — BarCoe Studios is proud to share that founder Sean Barcoe has been profiled in the debut edition of Gulf Times Now's Entrepreneurs' Issue (August 2026). The feature — "The pilot who builds studios" — appears on pages 24–25 in the magazine's "The Makers" section, tracing his journey from two decades as a U.S. Army pilot to building one of Abu Dhabi's most ambitious creative studios.

The piece explores how the discipline of the cockpit carried into the control room, and how BarCoe Studios grew from a modest setup into a full creative ecosystem for music, film, and live performance — built around people and opportunity as much as technology.

"Talent alone is rarely enough. People need someone to believe in them before anyone else does — that's what we're building here," said Sean Barcoe, Founder of BarCoe Studios. "To be part of Gulf Times Now's first Entrepreneurs' Issue, among the people shaping this city, is an honour."

The studio thanks Gulf Times Now for the feature (pages 24–25) and its spotlight on the entrepreneurs building Abu Dhabi's future.
