For more than twenty years, I’ve worked at the intersection of strategy, capital, and technology — most of those years in rooms where the decisions made tend to stay made. I served six years as Chief Information Officer at a national institution, founded three technology ventures, and built deep operating experience across the public and private sectors in Qatar and the wider Gulf.
Today, I advise a government bureau on technology strategy, and I run Banan Ventures, a venture studio for artisanal masters, taking Arabic crafts from local lineage to international markets, one master at a time.
What I’ve come to care about most is the work that doesn’t make headlines. The institutional design beneath ambitious projects. The senior team architecture that decides whether something survives a leadership change. The quiet choices that determine whether what we build outlasts us.
My focus: helping leaders turn complex situations into decisions that can be made, defended, and continued — for organizations whose work belongs to a longer horizon than the next quarter.
