I am an Arab from the world's largest Oasis in the world who is entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and life coach whose career spans the Gulf region and the United Kingdom. Recognized as a ultra high-net-worth individual, I have founded and invested in businesses across real estate, fintech, technology, hospitality and private equity. My entrepreneurial achievements have earned me multiple international entrepreneur awards, while my work as a motivational speaker, life coach and mentor has allowed me to inspire audiences around the world.
I am a proud parent and my family remains the foundation of my life and the source of my greatest motivation. Balancing family, business and philanthropy has shaped my belief that success is measured not only by professional achievement but also by the positive impact we have on those closest to us.
I am a passionate collector of fine mechanical watches and believe that craftsmanship, precision and patience are qualities that define both exceptional timepieces and exceptional leadership. Outside of business, I am a lifelong supporter of a Manchester Football Club, sports memorabilia collector and enjoy attending matches whenever my schedule allows.

My international profile (over 1 million followers) has led to invitations to economic forums, royal receptions, charity galas and private events where I regularly meet members of royal families, government officials, global business leaders, and philanthropists. I also host private networking events that bring together entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and innovators to exchange ideas and build meaningful international partnerships.
Growing up in a highly conservative society, I experienced first-hand the challenges of hiding my identity as a gay man. Seeking the freedom to live authentically, I later relocated to the United Kingdom, where I continued to expand my businesses while dedicating more of my time to mentoring, public speaking and supporting initiatives that promote inclusion, wellbeing, and equal opportunity.
One of my greatest passions is mentoring young people, particularly through university societies and leadership programmes. I want to help individuals from conservative backgrounds develop confidence, resilience, and self-belief so they can pursue their ambitions without fear or shame. I believe education, empathy, and open dialogue are the most powerful tools for creating lasting social progress.

My long-term vision is to encourage more open and respectful conversations about identity, equality, and inclusion across conservative societies. I hope future generations will inherit communities where people are treated with dignity and respect regardless of their sexual orientation and where everyone has the freedom to live authentically while respecting the rights and beliefs of others.
I believe every person should have the freedom to discover and express their identity without fear of discrimination or persecution. My long-term vision is to build a global community that supports people from ultra-conservative societies by providing mentorship, education, mental health support and safe spaces for dialogue.
I hope to encourage governments and civil society across the GCC to continue expanding opportunities for inclusion and equal treatment under the law as part of future national development agendas beyond Vision 2030 and into Vision 2040. My aim is not to tell people who they should be, but to ensure that everyone regardless of sexual orientation or identity has the same rights, opportunities, and dignity.
To me, equality means a society where no one is disadvantaged because of who they are, where people are free to live authentically, and where diversity is accepted rather than feared.
