Advice that works in the boardroom and the build.

Through RAGN, his global initiative for responsible AI governance, he helps organizations adopt AI in ways that are secure, transparent and built on trust, not just speed.

He works with leadership teams across sovereign wealth, telecoms, banking and enterprise technology, and supports Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 digital economy goals through his work with MCIT's Center of Digital Entrepreneurship.
