Edward in a few words
Senior Executive with 12 years of experience leading global expansion and strategy across the consumer retail and technology sectors. I specialise in scaling VC-backed startups to transformation and innovation at global multinationals, with a proven track record in AI, robotics, and automation. My expertise spans the Middle East, Europe, US and APAC.

Highlights of my career include successfully managing multi-million dollar projects, leading cross-functional teams across diverse geographies, and delivering substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. Recognised for my contributions to the technology landscape, I was honoured with the Executive Director Golden Visa by the UAE, underlining my commitment to advancing innovation in the region.

I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology to solve complex business challenges and create sustainable value.
