Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s futuristic city plans, multi-billion dollar investments and national AI initiatives have made headlines worldwide. I have my finger on the pulse and have been tracking these developments since the beginning. I am often also able to share insights into key initiatives, programmes and the organisations involved.
A marketer, consultant and entrepreneur, I have worked in the Middle East’s technology, media and telecommunications sectors for three decades. My current focus is on helping emerging technology companies position themselves for success and develop strategies for the Middle East and North Africa.
As the founder of an international communications agency focused on technology, I have worked with a long list of global brands such as Accenture, Cisco, IBM, HP, Hughes, Inmarsat, Intel, Microsoft, Nortel, Ooredoo, Oracle, Orange and Virgin. I have also advised governments in a number of countries across the region on a broad range of digital initiatives.
I have a long track record in developing world-class strategy for brands who find themselves at the centre of technology disruption. I also write about AI and other emerging technologies in my website and weekly newsletter Middle East AI News.
