"From Ph.D. in AI to Serial Founder —
the rare blend that transforms startups"
The 0.1% who bridge AI research and startup execution
Most advisors know business or technology. I've lived both — building AI systems that actually work, then scaling companies that actually sell. The result? Strategic AI implementation that becomes your competitive moat.
Ph.D. in Neural Networks. Published research in top-tier conferences including EMNLP, ACII, and PACLIC.
Built and scaled multiple companies from zero to acquisition. Cirius/AdLocal and Naked Technology successfully exited.
Successfully raised funding across multiple ventures, from seed to growth stages.
Mentored founders across North America, Asia, and MENA, focusing on growth, clarity, and resilience.
My strength is not just in implementing technology, but in making it a core competitive advantage. Most advisors will tell you how to launch a feature. I help you understand how that feature becomes your unique value proposition (UVP) in the market.
This blend of hands-on startup building and strategic thinking is rare. It means I can guide you on what to build, why it matters, and how to remove the mental blockers that stand between you and the next 10x.
At this phase, you are searching for Product–Market Fit. Together we'll design experiments that cut through noise, use strategic frameworks to build defensible moats, and translate your early traction into a compelling fundraising story that investors can't ignore.
Now your challenge is scale. Product, sales, and marketing teams must grow fast, but not chaotically. Here, we bring strategic frameworks into the organization to optimize both product and go-to-market teams, build repeatable systems of defensibility, and prepare the company for growth-stage fundraising.
At this level, the stakes are about transformation. I work with larger organizations to bring strategic insights into business strategy, install cutting-edge knowledge directly into teams, and collaborate on frontier projects that redefine how organizations operate and scale.
No matter where you are, growth demands inner clarity. Using a strategic lens, I help founders and teams identify and remove cognitive blockers, creating a mental foundation where scaling by 10x or even 100x feels aligned rather than conflicted.
Every founder's journey is unique, but no one scales alone. Whether you're searching for PMF, preparing for a growth-stage round, or transforming a mature company, I can help you navigate with both strategy and psychology on your side.
No sales pitch. Just honest conversation about your challenges and opportunities.
