I live to be questioned, challenged and pushed to reach the maximum of my potential. I have seen the past, I see the present, and I can see the future of innovation, disruption, and collaboration between startups and corporations.Having helped foster meaningful connections and pilots between startups and corporations, I know the journey is never easy. The stark cultural differences, the maturity of startups, and the trust factor have hindered successful alliances in the past. I aim to be a noteworthy difference in the startup-corporate collaboration space. How? Do you ask...Right from prototyping intelligent systems for an EV startup, to developing product roadmaps for a revolutionary B2B platform, versatility and adaptability have helped me gain experience across verticals in diverse capacities. Diversification within my own role helped me turn around a company that was losing $50,000 a month to profiting $50,000 per month by 2018. I have learned through personal experience how innovation is a necessity, not a mere luxury. Through my career, whether speaking to startups, corporates, government entities, or children, I take every conversation as a foundation for building strong relationships. I engaged with the startup community in Dubai, having informally mentored for accelerators like TechStars. I have also been on the panel for several governmental discussions. I also actively vet and conduct due diligence for Angel Network ME, a network of private angel investors in the MENA region.In a nutshell, I am a people’s person in love with innovation. I consider myself an enabler, trying my bit to simplify the arduous task of idea-execution across verticals.I live by the rule of being empowered through empowering others. If you are in London and want to speak about a product, an idea or a whim, I am always up for a chat if there’s absolutely excellent coffee involved!
