About

Six times World’s Best Travel SIM Provider. Not once β€” six. I’m the CEO of BNESIM. We built the app that keeps travelers, business people, remote workers, and connected devices online in 200+ countries: zero roaming, one click. Over 500 Terabytes of data consumed by our customers every month across the globe. We’re not just an eSIM. We’re a full communications platform: 160,000+ data plans from multiple operators, international voice and phone numbers from 100+ countries, VPN, conference rooms, IoT connectivity, all in one app. We invented the smart top-up and the emergency top-up. We’re the world’s first mobile operator on blockchain. I believe the best product wins. No shortcuts. Obsess over the experience, move faster than the competition, and never stop building. Co-founder of Trainae DMCC, a software company based in Dubai.
