About

Most product managers think government markets are impossible to enter. I've successfully launched platforms across 7 countries and 50+ government agencies. Here's what I've learned. I help enterprise teams and startups build products in regulated markets (GovTech, FinTech, Authentication, Compliance). I've managed £100M+ portfolios, scaled 0-to-1 SaaS to $1.09M ARR, and led teams across MENA and Africa. I understand both sides, I've been a founder and an enterprise executor. I speak Arabic and English fluently - crucial for MENA markets. Open to: • Sr. PM/Product Lead roles • Strategic advisory for B2B product teams and Startup Founders • Speaking/thought leadership • Consulting on compliance-first products" Let's talk if you're: • Building in GCC/MENA • Solving compliance problems • Scaling government platforms.
