🌍 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.

Always a pleasure reconnecting with Dr. Basma Al-Buhairan, Managing Director at C4IR KSA (Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Saudi Arabia) — a World Economic Forum affiliate driving the Kingdom’s transformation through innovation and emerging technologies.

Dr. Basma’s insights on responsible innovation, AI governance, and ecosystem collaboration are truly inspiring. Her leadership at C4IR KSA continues to play a pivotal role in aligning technology with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 — ensuring that progress and purpose go hand in hand.
Our conversation reinforced how critical collaboration across public, private, and entrepreneurial ecosystems is in shaping the future of tech and policy.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas once again — and look forward to exploring ways to build bridges between innovators and institutions that share the same mission of shaping a smarter, more inclusive future.
