About

I am an entrepreneur and investor with a multidisciplinary and multinational background. During my career, I have founded five companies and executed several zero-to-one initiatives. Over the last two and a half decades, I have had the good fortune to practice entrepreneurship across four continents in four distinct industry verticals – Technology, Human Resources Outsourcing, Private Equity, and Contracting/Construction – Civil and oil & gas. On my business adventures, I’ve had the opportunity to work across the globe in varied regions, including North America (United States & Canada), Europe (United Kingdom & Switzerland), Africa (Libya & Morocco), Middle East (UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia & Qatar) and Asia (India, South Korea, & Hong Kong). In the technology area, I founded Altudo as a bootstrapped internally funded venture which is now a leading customer experience platform service company based in USA. Businesses I have led served the NATO/ISAF forces in Afghanistan as well as the US Defense Logistics Agency - Energy in the Middle East. I am conversant with FAR provisions and have experience in contracting with US federal government agencies. In construction, my businesses have worked on iconic construction projects such as Palm Jumeirah Villas, Atlantis the Palm Dubai, Burj Khalifa, One and Only Maldives, Dubai Airport, Abu Dhabi Airport, and Mazagan Beach Resort and Casino in Morocco. Amongst other projects in the Oil and Gas vertical, in 2014, I led the capital asset development team managing the EPC, commissioning & oil-in on a $100 million oil storage terminal in Salalah, Oman, serving the US Defense Logistics Agency - Energy. Beyond the midstream, my ventures have participated in downstream refinery operations, & upstream E&P / oilfield initiatives. I have overseen large-scale human resources outsourcing projects, including a single construction services project on which my company deployed and managed 3000 skilled resources for a period of two years and a multinational contract hire organisation that provided on-demand resources to clients in four countries across Arabia and North Africa. As Managing Partner of the PE firm TNF Capital Limited, I participated in the restructuring of a multinational portfolio of operating hydrocarbon assets. Additionally, I helped build a venture capital platform focused on cybersecurity, blockchain, crypto-assets, wellness, and other verticals. Before my entrepreneurial career, I worked as an employee and consultant for companies such as Suzuki (Indian ancillary), Hewlett-Packard, and American Express.
