IT Executive Expert | Drones | AI | EduTech | PropTech | IT Management | Serial Entrepreneur | Speaker & Educator

With 23 years of experience and a Master's in IT Management, I leverage my expertise to drive innovation in AI and drone technologies to maximize ROI. As a serial entrepreneur and former executive at ADNOC and RTA, I lead teams to position organizations at the forefront of digital transformation.

Throughout my career, I have founded and successfully exited two startups: GIS Drones and Kanary Gifts. At GIS Drones, I transformed building inspections in the GCC region, helping clients like DEWA, Du, Masdar, Aldar, and Emaar reduce costs by 50% while enhancing safety and efficiency.

Recognized as a top leader in the drones industry by Aviator Middle East and one of the top 6 innovation startups by the Dubai Airshow, I actively create content on LinkedIn to educate and inspire others.

I have spearheaded several tech-driven initiatives, including developing an AI chatbot for RTA, implementing an intelligent traffic monitoring system with Sharjah University, and launching a smart drone inspection system for high-rise skyscrapers.

I am open to work opportunities, speaking engagements, and consulting in advanced technology domains.

CoFounder & CEO

In September 2020, I founded GeoDrones Aerial Services, a Dubai based Commercial Drone Services & Solutions Provider, commissioned with a mission to provide superior quality Drone Services to customers across the United Arab Emirates & the Gulf region.

In less than 1 year, I’ve successfully managed to create corporate collaborations with Abu Dhabi and Dubai governments and delivered multiple major projects to high profile companies in topology surveying, bathymetric and solar panels inspection.

I aim to position GIS Drones to be the Industry Leader in Commercial Drone Services across United Arab Emirates and the GCC region, and is always in the duel to preserve, uphold and be conversant with the advancements in Drones.

I coach high performers to achieve even more without sacrificing their health and family life I Founder @ UAE Coaching I 🎓 Psychology /Teaching / Masters NLP & Life Coaching / Gallup Leadership Coach ❤️ Father of 2 boys

Running a business? Leading a team?
Trying to be fit, focused, present, and still make time for the people who matter most?

I get it.
Because I’m not just a coach — I’m a founder of 2 businesses, a dad of two boys, and a man who’s made the mistake of trying to do it all.

I work with ambitious leaders — many of them Dads — who look like they’ve got it all together… but deep down, feel stretched thin.

They’ve built a career, have the title, tick the boxes.
But their energy? Fading.
Their presence at home? Slipping.
Their focus? Questionable.

They’re doing everything for everyone — except themselves.

Here’s what we work on together to create THE SHIFT:

✅ S — Self Realignment
Reconnect to what actually matters to you — beyond work, roles, and pressure.
✅ H — Harness Your Strengths
Understand and aim your unique strengths to become the best version of yourself — as a leader, partner, and parent.
✅ I — Integrate Energising Rituals
Design simple rituals that fuel you — physically, mentally, emotionally.
✅ F — Free Up Mental Space
Build systems that reduce noise and reactivity — and give you back time, clarity, and calm.
✅ T — Transform How You Lead
Lead your life with the same purpose and intention you bring to your business.

This isn’t surface-level performance coaching.
This is the work that creates aligned leaders — not just successful ones.

If you’re a founder, senior leader, or ambitious dad who’s built success but lost your spark — and you're ready to feel focused, energised, and fully present again — let’s talk.
