Founder & CEO, Utopia Global Ventures
Serial entrepreneur and investor. I build and operate companies across AI, commerce, healthcare, and industrial automation — finding inefficient markets in the Gulf, applying operational systems and technology, and scaling through partnerships.
I'm a serial entrepreneur, investor, and business leader based in Dubai, with over ten years of experience across industrial automation, AI, software development, robotics, and business leadership. I currently manage multiple companies, ventures, investments, and community initiatives under one holding group: Utopia Global Ventures.
My approach is consistent across every venture: find undervalued or inefficient markets in the Gulf and MENA region, apply operational systems and technology, and scale through partnerships and distribution networks. The goal is long-term enterprise value — businesses that combine technology, AI, automation, healthcare, commerce, and leadership development.
Beyond the companies, I'm an active YPO MENA member — where I've served as Forum Officer and Learning Officer and regularly moderate chapter forums and sessions — and I host the Utopia Life podcast, in conversation with entrepreneurs about leadership, building, and the realities of the founder's path.

Operating businesses under Utopia Global Ventures — each in its own market, all run on the same principle: systems over dependencies.

Two programs, one philosophy: no professional trainers, no theory for its own sake. You learn from operators, and you leave with something working.
A guided four-week venture sprint: 24 program days, a daily deliver → learn → ship loop, and five gates between you and a defensible venture. You work the interactive toolkit — idea scorecard, Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, venture one-pager — keep a founder's journal, and finish with a 60-second pitch scored against a real rubric by real trainers.
Corporate AI training run by practitioners, not professional trainers — on purpose. Tracks in Business Intelligence and Agentic AI, a 10-topic Leadership Program, and role-specific AI courses for Sales, Procurement, Marketing, Customer Service, and HR. Programs are run for one company at a time, and the agentic track ends with a working AI agent — not a certificate on a shelf.
How one founder runs an entire business with AI agents — and how you can too. A practical account of building companies where AI agents do real work: marketing, sales, operations, and code.
Conversations with entrepreneurs — leadership, building, and the realities behind the highlight reel.
