About
I started at the machine
Electrical engineering, then years on factory floors across the Gulf, writing PLC logic, commissioning SCADA systems, tuning drives, motion control, and robotics. I took complete machines and production lines from wiring diagram to running steel, in oil & gas, manufacturing, and heavy industry. Operational technology taught me how the physical world actually runs: deterministic, unforgiving, and honest. If the logic is wrong, the machine stops.
That discipline became my operating system for business. After a decade leading industrial automation across the region, where I built the engineering teams, partnerships, and distribution behind hundreds of installed systems, I moved from running machines to building companies. The pattern never changed: find an undervalued or inefficient market, install operational systems and technology, and scale through partnerships and distribution.
Build systems instead of dependencies.
Today, Utopia Global Ventures holds nineteen ventures across AI, healthcare, commerce, media, engineering, and investment. The newest system layer is intelligence itself. Across the group, real teams work alongside AI agents that hold real jobs: drafting and selling, auditing campaigns, writing code, watching infrastructure, and reporting into the same channels as everyone else. The people keep direction, taste, judgment, and responsibility. The agents multiply what every person can carry.
Beyond the companies, I'm an active YPO MENA member and I host the Utopia Life podcast, in conversation with entrepreneurs about leadership, building, and the realities of the founder's path.
