LEADING WITH VISION MENTORING THE NEXT GENERATION
I’ve never believed in doing business just for the sake of it. For me, it’s always been about people creating lasting value that inspires and empowers.
Born in Kuwait and based in Dubai, my leadership journey blends Eastern values with Western strategy. As Founder & CEO of The Forttuna Group, I lead a diverse enterprise spanning awards, entertainment, AI, mentorship, and digital storytelling. The Forttuna Global Excellence Awards, now in its fourth year, honors leaders from over 100 countries.
From hosting The FFTB Show to launching Gen-E and the Forttuna Startup Excellence Program, my mission remains clear: amplify voices and scale impactful ideas. I’m a Stanford Seed consultant, Forbes Business Council member, 3x TEDx speaker, and Global Business Consultant, having mentored hundreds and addressed global audiences.
In 2025, I took on a new role as Advisor International Cooperation & Outreach to the Permanent Observer of the Pan African Intergovernmental Agency for Water & Sanitation (WSA) to the UN. I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Business Administration and writing my debut book on the lessons that shaped my journey.
