My journey in Saudi Arabia began in January 2024 when I joined the GAIA AI Accelerator program backed by SDAIA and NTDP. What started as a business opportunity quickly transformed into something far more meaningful. The genuine warmth of the people, the depth of relationships, and the Kingdom's boundless ambition to lead in AI captured my heart completely.
As an entrepreneur who has advised 3,000+ organizations including Walmart, OLX, and ING Bank on future of work initiatives, I've witnessed technological transformations worldwide. But Saudi Arabia's unique blend of cultural richness and technological ambition stands apart. This inspired me to create the Saudi AI Leadership Forum – a space where we can all learn, grow, and shape the Kingdom's AI future together.
