I help two kinds of teams: ones that can't get their people to actually use AI, and ones trying to reach Gulf markets and not landing.
Two things, and they're connected.
Both are about getting something adopted, not just delivered.
AI people actually use
Most AI rollouts stall because no one adopts the tool. I build and train for the opposite. I made Kanz AI, a custom GPT for my 7,000-member community: every answer links to its source, and a built-in prompt library so people could use it on their own. They kept using it.
Gulf markets, from the inside
Native Arabic, eleven years working in the region — UAE government digital strategy at WITS, and the social selling program for Microsoft's senior leadership across the Middle East and Africa. I know how business gets done there because I did it there.
Send me to anyone who's:
- Rolling out AI and struggling to get people to use it
- Trying to reach GCC clients or markets and missing
- Localizing a product or strategy for the Gulf
- Needing AI training, workshops, or a community program run
Eleven years, in-market.
Founder

Microsoft
Built the social selling program for Microsoft's senior Middle East and Africa leadership.
When not to let AI take the lead.
I build AI tools, so this isn't an anti-AI take. But trust is human, and knowing where to keep your own judgment in front is the actual skill now — especially in the Gulf, where trust closes the deal.
Let's talk.
If you're hiring, building, or trying to reach the Gulf, get in touch.
