About

6 Things: 1) I'm on a mission to build one of the Middle East's most relevant business voices on LinkedIn. I went from 0-1-hundreds of millions in revenue in 5 years building Capital.com's Middle East operation from scratch. Now I'm sharing everything I learned about markets, building, leadership, and the career path nobody plans for so you don't have to figure it out the hard way. 2) Sport taught me everything business school didn't. Specifically: how to lose, recover fast, and show up the next day anyway. The same obsession with marginal gains I apply to fitness is the same one I apply to building a business. 3) My content philosophy is simple: Say the thing most people in your industry won't say. Be specific where others are vague. The posts that make you nervous to hit publish are usually the ones worth posting. 4) My niche is the intersection of fintech, MENA markets, and what it actually takes to build something from nothing. I've done it with a licence, a team, real P&L pressure, and a market that didn't know my name. If you're building in this region or want to this is the feed for you. 5) I believe the Middle East is the most underestimated business opportunity on the planet right now. The talent is coming. The capital is here. The regulatory appetite is here. Most people are still sleeping on it. I'm not. 6) The views expressed are my own and not those of Capital.com. But the results are on the record. Vo2 Max: 50. Please don't contact me for coaching if you're a PT unless you can get me to 57.
