Entrepreneur & Strategist | Building Innovation Bridges Between the US and GCC | Advancing Healthtech, Longevity & FDI Ecosystems Under “Make It in the Emirates”

United States

Bio Summary

I’m a USA based entrepreneur, strategist, and ecosystem builder with a lifelong passion for turning innovation into impact. Throughout my career, I’ve founded and led ventures that connect ideas, people, and capital — transforming emerging technologies into sustainable businesses that improve lives.

I focus on bridging international innovators with the Gulf region through go-to-market execution, localization, and commercialization. Aligned with “Make It in the Emirates” and Vision 2031, my work centers on building partnerships that drive foreign direct investment, industrial growth, and meaningful innovation.

Through 360Disruption and its growing ecosystem of ventures, I collaborate with companies across healthtech, longevity, AI, and biotechnology — each reflecting my belief that innovation should always serve people, not the other way around.

Earlier in my career, I helped scale technology firms to over $80M in annual revenue through strategic alliances with SAP and HP, and later co-founded several successful ventures in blockchain, AI, and smart city technologies.

Today, my mission is to build innovation bridges between the United States, the GCC, and Africa, while mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs to think boldly, act globally, and build with purpose.
