About Me
Working at the interface between frontier technologies and business model development.
Background
I work at the intersection of AI, industry, and capital—as an operator, advisor, and early-stage investor.
I'm trained as a robotics engineer, but most of my career has been spent translating advanced technology into real-world impact. Over the past decade, I've worked closely with executive teams, investors, operators, and technologists across energy, manufacturing, commodities, and data-intensive industries—helping turn strategy into execution.
Today, I'm Senior Director of AI Advisory at AI71 in Abu Dhabi, where I focus on helping organizations move from AI experimentation to AI-first operating models. My work sits where AI meets physical assets, regulation, legacy systems, and scale—particularly in industrial and sovereign contexts.
A recurring theme in my work is what I call the Supply Chains of Intelligence: how energy, compute, data, models, software, and decision-making fit together—and where value, risk, and leverage actually sit. I spend a lot of time thinking about how these supply chains are being rebuilt, especially in the Middle East.
Alongside my advisory work, I'm an active angel investor in early-stage companies building foundational AI, data, and industrial software. I enjoy working closely with founders on product, strategy, and long-term technical direction.
I speak and advise on AI, industrial transformation, and technology strategy—with a bias toward what actually works, not what sounds good in a slide deck.
