🌍 Multi-Exit Founder | CEO, Founders Club International
As an experienced FDI, Trade & Economic Development Leader, I specialize in bridging global markets and driving sustainable growth across North America, the GCC, and Europe. I focus on fostering strategic partnerships and investment opportunities that contribute to the economic development of regions and industries.

At Founders Club International, we collaborate closely with ministries and governments to design programs that promote:
✅ Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
✅ Strategic Collaborations
✅ Business and Technology Innovation Bridges
✅ Economic Development Initiatives

With a deep understanding of Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs), I help governments, businesses, and organizations unlock cross-border investments, create impactful trade policies, and develop strategies for long-term economic success.

I am passionate about advancing innovative projects and supporting both public and private sector stakeholders in realizing their potential through FDI, fostering trade, and driving sustainable economic development initiatives.

With experience spanning 30+ countries, including the USA, UAE, KSA, UK, Singapore, and the broader GCC, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside ministries, governments, and business leaders to build transformative opportunities that lead to long-term success.

Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to create lasting, impactful growth across borders.

En route to New York for the Founders Club NYC Investor Dinner.
Following that, I’ll be in Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar over the coming weeks.
Looking forward to reconnecting with friends, founders, and investors along the way — feel free to reach out if you’ll be around.

I’ve written a GCC Market Entry Guide based on firsthand experience supporting 200+ company and fund launches across the region.

The guide will be released in February, and I’ll be sharing complimentary copies.

Last week, the Saudi market announced a move to allow broader access for non-Saudi investors to invest in local stocks.
This is a strong and important milestone for the Saudi capital market. Expanding access enhances market depth, improves liquidity, and further integrates Saudi Arabia into the global financial ecosystem.
At a time when investors worldwide are closely watching markets, this step sends a clear message of confidence, openness, and long-term vision. It reinforces the Kingdom’s commitment to building a more inclusive, transparent, and globally connected investment environment.
Welcoming a wider base of international investors supports not only capital inflows, but also knowledge transfer, stronger governance, and market sophistication, benefiting the entire ecosystem — from listed companies to local investors.
This is another example of how Saudi Arabia continues to move forward with structural reforms that prioritize sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
Looking forward to seeing the positive impact of this development over time.
