Founder and CEO of Cadena, the Dubai-based global go-to-market and AI firm that helps global companies open and grow enterprise revenue across the Gulf (GCC), North America, and APAC.

Cadena raised $533.3M from Gulf investors, with backing from the Kuwait Investment Authority, ADCN etc. and employs 1000+ employees worldwide.

Where I help most is the Gulf: how to enter the GCC, build a local enterprise-sales team, and close deals in a market that runs on relationships. 

I can also support in guidance on how to raise capital from Gulf investors (Family offices, Institutional investors & Gulf UHNWI)

I built a company in a region most founders find impossible to crack from the outside, and I love helping operators do it faster than I did.

Things I can advise on: 
✔️ Entering the Gulf market 
✔️ Building a GCC sales team 
✔️ Selling to Gulf enterprises 
✔️ Raising capital in the Gulf 
✔️ Scaling revenue across GCC 
✔️ & more
