Broaden your horizon
“How fast you go, how far you get, is in your hands. The bigger your vision, the bigger your achievement will be. Will you stumble on the way? Perhaps, but we cannot let fear keep us small. We have to be brave to be big.”
-His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
My family
I am grateful to have you gone through my Bio, I promise you an amused read. Born in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. A husband of a beautiful and supportive wife and a father of five beautiful kids. Good thing men outweigh women in my small family. I am blessed to have my parents around and I have to admit the joy during our encounters.
My current career
I spent an amazing five years of my life in the USA to become a Chemical Engineer and continued it with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in Abu Dhabi. I am currently occupying the position of Chief Commercial Officer in Abu Dhabi. My executive C-suite experience includes extensive personal interactions with influencing leaders, peers and colleagues within the UAE and globally. My professional career has been a great base to enrich my thinking and challenge the current status-quo where it ranges from assisting to build a successful growth story all the way to developing strategies and processes to sustain such growth.
My passion
It is with no doubt Wellbeing!
Being the main drive behind my achievement in life so far.
I figured that out in 2012 when I was experiencing severe Gut pain and exhaustion, add to that my family, work and life. I had to decide between my work and health, I chose work. It was indeed a life lesson and if I would choose now, it would be my Health with a smile. What happened afterwards is magical where the recipe for being healthy was taking care of my self and mainly diet. Yes I was exercising and eating healthy but that was not good enough. The appropriate guidance came from my first real coach and personal trainer. Eventually, I figured out what makes a person a high performer is the right guidance from those around them.
(Oloaa) My start up
I took a bold decision in 2021 and opened my first start up business to sell granola bags and bars called Oloaa, you may check us at www.oloaa.ae.

It felt Awesome and brought joy to me and all those around me.

My mission in life
In person I thrive when under pressure and produce the best results making sure I stay authentic, fun and modest. I always question the current status and wonder how can this be done better. My family comes first now and seeing them grow makes me wanting to get younger to enjoy the time with them. I always like to try new things and value personal growth.
My coaching journey
Talking to and being around people has been always a passion. I love it when I actively listen to someone talk and how they have achieved so far. This brought the idea that I could support and influence those around me with my background and experience in life. In 2020, the year of the pandemic, I started studying to obtain an accredited certification in coaching. Many things were happening around me but the idea was just a must do for me! I eventually certified as Human Potential Coach via Human Potential Institute with an intention to bring the best in those whom I would coach.
I gained a remarkable amount of knowledge and Hacks including meditation which is now a daily ritual. I became much aware about myself and embodied experiences feeling, I am more mindful now. I actively listen whether at home, work or those whom I have been coaching.
