Founder of Aura AI Agents L.L.C-FZ, a Dubai software company building AI-native products for brands and go-to-market teams.

Build the thing, ship to a real customer, compound. Our lead product is Aura AI Visibility (aaivisibility.com). It shows whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI can read, understand and cite a website: 18 deterministic checks, every fix spelled out, and the full report is free. Its paid Monitor tier samples ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini daily, and every citation rate ships with its sample size and 95% confidence interval, including the ones that make us look worse.

Our first product, the Aura AI Agents suite (auraaia.com), automates business calls, chats, emails and content with AI agents. Also in the portfolio: Aura AI Outreach, which turns a revenue target into booked meetings through a human-in-the-loop SDR workflow; Aura AI Build, which designs, writes and hosts a website from a one-sentence description; and NEXUS, managed AI content systems for premium brands and operators.

Before this I spent 20+ years operating in energy, FMCG and professional services. It taught me where strategy is theatre and where it is leverage, and that discipline runs through everything I build.

Alongside the AI ventures, I provide a senior advisory practice for international investors entering Dubai: premium acquisition and the Golden Visa pathway, delivered with the same operator's discipline.

I partner with all major developers, so your entry point is the right one, not the most-marketed one. The objective: a strategically sound, seamless achievement of your financial and residency objectives.
