About

For more than two decades, I have worked with technology companies, startups, and international organizations to help them grow and adapt in fast-changing markets. As Managing Partner of G&K Consulting, I oversee strategic direction and client engagements, guiding companies through market entry, business development, and marketing transformation. Alongside this, I advise businesses looking to expand into the Middle East; helping them design their strategy, build effective go-to-market plans, and connect with the right partners and opportunities to establish their presence in the region. I believe in clear, actionable consulting: translating strategy into real steps, aligning people around shared goals, and building capabilities that last.
