Doing what I do best, supporting founders and executives to hire top technology and product talent to make magic happen. Helping VC & PE backed tech companies build exceptional CTO, CPO & Technology/Product leadership teams | Chief Growth Officer at Salt | Founder, MENA Leaders Community | Podcast Host For over a decade, I’ve partnered with founders, investors, and C-suite leaders across the US, Europe, and MENA to design, build, and scale high-performing technology and product leadership teams. I’ve been immersed in the tech ecosystem since 2012, building ML, AI, and product teams from the ground up, and helping companies navigate complex engineering and product challenges. I combine executive search, community-building, and thought leadership to deliver impact that goes beyond hiring - unlocking growth, shaping leadership cultures, and ensuring teams thrive at scale. I’m the founder of MENA Leaders, the fastest-growing C-suite & founders community in the region, and host of “Breaking Down Barriers”, a podcast featuring insights from CTOs, CPOs, and executives at unicorns, scale-ups, and disruptive startups - supported by AWS and Shorooq. If you’re a founder scaling your tech and product teams, an investor building a strong portfolio, or a tech/product leader ready for your next challenge, let’s connect. I love sharing insights, exploring partnerships, and helping teams grow.
