About

I am a technology leader, serial entrepreneur, and builder. I have spent over twenty years turning big ideas into products that actually ship.

I have built and scaled platforms across FinTech, payments, e-commerce, and AI. I have worked at companies like Amazon and Shopify and founded startups along the way. I operate where product, engineering, and business collide. I prefer fixing messy problems over creating new ones.
I have led large teams and launched regulated systems in tough markets. I learned many lessons the hard way so founders do not have to. As a mentor and investor, I am direct and allergic to buzzwords. I focus on real customers, clear value, and execution that survives contact with reality.

I work with founders who want honest feedback, fast progress, and fewer PowerPoint slides.

I am based in the Middle East. I build globally.

Spoken languages

Mentorship motivation

  • I am looking for new investments
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

Time to give back! Time to build for scale! and Time to get out of the comfort zone, again!

Hustle, hustle, hustle!
