Personal summary
I'm a startup founder, operator, and advisor with a global perspective—building and scaling ventures across Canada and the Middle East. With a background in risk, audit, and governance, I’ve transitioned from corporate advisory roles into the world of startups, where I lead with a mix of strategic thinking, product insight, and execution-driven leadership. Highly interested in blockchain and AI work. As the founder of One Loyalty, I’m building a next-gen loyalty platform that empowers brands to deliver personalized, gamified, and data-driven experiences. We’re transforming how businesses engage with customers—bridging the gap between Web2, Web3, and real-world rewards through white-label solutions and enterprise-ready APIs. Previously, I co-founded DCB World, a Web3 venture studio focused on building tokenized experiences for loyalty, gaming, and NFTs—pushing the frontier of digital engagement in the region. Prior to startups, I held internal audit and risk leadership roles at GlobeMed and Saradar Bank, where I led enterprise-wide assessments and supported governance transformation across MENA markets.
