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.
