Manager, ICT

My main responsibility is to work with my team at attracting companies in the TMT industry to partner with Bahraini companies or setup their regional offices in Bahrain. Within my responsibilities also fall looking after the foreign companies that have already are setup in Bahrain to help them expand and make their stay more pleasant in Bahrain to create more jobs. This spans from forming the strategy, planning the execution towards completing the projects. My team and I travel around the world to promote and develop partnerships for Bahrain with international firms and government trade agencies.

Senior Officer, Business Officer - ICT Sector Specialist

My main job is to allocate ICT investment opportunities in Bahrain and the Gulf region and then communicate them to international ICT companies. Once the company has shown interest, then I would assist them in meeting companies and guide them through their registration and operations in Bahrain for the region. My team and I would be by their side to assist them through any red tape obstacles. The nice part about my job is that our services are FREE and Confidential, because we are funded by the Government of Bahrain and I don't need to worry about negotiating any fees. The ICT opportunities that I currently look at are those to service the Financial, Telecoms, Manufacturing, and Oil and Gas sectors, because these sectors are the main sectors that are witnessing a tremendous growth in the Middle Eastern region. Especially that I am working and living in the Middle Eastern Financial Hub of the Middle East with more than 400 financial institutions in Bahrain.

Co-Founder

My mission is to help founders in emerging economies to build scalable companies that are acquisition-ready. This process begins by leveling up the leadership teams to their full potential through the frameworks and tools developed at A8. It continues by building an optimal operational blueprint that scales the business sustainably, enabling it to pass any investor due diligence process.

Startups are a driving force for future job creation, but only a select few survive the “Valley of Death” to reach profitability. Most of them fail because the leadership team, including founders, is not startup-ready, unlike in places such as Silicon Valley, London, and Shenzhen, where Ivy League schools produce graduates ready to join scaling startups, and a critical mass of talent and qualified investors exists.

In my book SkillUp As You ScaleUp, I help startup leaders develop the growth mindset necessary to scale. Investors and VCs consistently point to the leadership team as the most critical factor in a startup’s success. However, many leaders, particularly from corporate backgrounds, bring rigid mindsets that alienate teams and hinder progress.

My “Skill-up as you Scale-up” philosophy focuses on guiding leadership teams to clarity and confidence amidst uncertainty through strategic frameworks and resilient cultures.

I’ve developed and tested four frameworks: the SAUS Principles, LEDA Skillsets, the FASTMARC Framework, and the ABM Leadership Framework, that enable startup leaders to remain adaptable, focused, and confident as their companies scale. By leveraging proven principles from lean manufacturing and industry research, I help teams prioritize effectively and maximize resources without overstretching.

With over 19 years of experience in tech startups and investment promotion agencies, I’ve held roles in sales, business development, economic planning, product development, and operations management. I founded three companies, invested in several startups, and currently serve as Senior VP at PayTabs.com. My core expertise lies in building scalable operational structures that are adaptable across industries and aligned with the principles used by global leaders.

I bring a science-based, project-oriented approach to problem-solving, ensuring fresh perspectives and impactful results. I’m LEAD-certified by Stanford Graduate School of Business and hold an MBA specializing in international business operations.
