Hello I’m

Entrepreneur & Investor 

My Story 

Born and raised in the UAE, I have always been exposed to a vibrant and diverse society. This is the space where I first developed my love for business, working side by side with my late father. Throughout my life, a deep passion for building businesses and an action-oriented personality have fueled my entrepreneurial ambition, taking me around the world in search of new opportunities and ideas. 

“From the streets of old Dubai to the wide avenue of business investment, this UAE-born serial entrepreneur has set his sights on success from a young age.”

A Passion for Entrepreneurship

Business for me is deeply connected to my personal interests and passions. My love for the martial arts, the automotive industry, the F&B sector, e-commerce, fitness and fashion is the driving force behind my investments. As a long time sponsor for some of the greatest boxing champions in the country, what I have learned from this incredible sport is that if you have great potential and the support of someone who believes in you enough to invest in you, you can thrive in the UAE! 

The UAE: A Land of Opportunity

Several years ago, as I was driving along Sheikh Zayed Road, all you could see around was desert. A lot has changed since that time. Innovation is the life-blood that keeps this country growing and it has inspired me ever since I was young. My aim is to do my part in order to help businesses flourish in this wonderful country.
