Description

I’m a venture builder with 18+ years of entrepreneurial experience, Forbes recognition, and a deep track record in turning ideas into scalable ventures. I’ve founded 3 startups, including eWhale.co, which generated AED 7M in revenue within its first 6 months, and have advised over 150 early-stage companies across the MENA region — from ideation to pre-seed.

I specialize in business model validation, go-to-market strategy, investor readiness, and scaling operations. I’ve led ecosystem programs with Khalifa Fund, ADGM Academy, Brinc, and Emirates NBD, helping startups launch faster and more effectively.

What sets me apart is my ability to simplify complex challenges, build founder-first strategies, and drive execution with speed and clarity. I typically work on venture building strategies, early-stage advisory, entrepreneurship content, and program design — delivering real-world impact across diverse markets.
